No Woman Should Face a Crisis Alone. Hope Women’s Center is a trauma informed, safe haven for women and teen girls facing any difficult life situation to find support, healing, and hope across Arizona. Whatever the adversity, Hope’s holistic approach helps engage, encourage, and equip women in all stages of life. We are here for you - reach out today!
GET support. BE support. To better serve women and teen girls across Arizona, Hope has expanded its reach through our Hope on the Road program. By establishing easily accessible locations across Arizona we can provide all of our services outside of the walls of our physical centers in community spaces where people already feel safe to go. We partner with over 60 sites across the state of Arizona including libraries, community centers, after school programs, jails/prisons, community centers, and low income housing communities. Hope Women’s Center is proud to partner with the Peoria Community Resource Center through Hope on the Road, bringing free support services directly to women and families in the Peoria community. Hope on the Road is available at the Peoria Community Resource Center every Thursday from 9:00am–12:00pm, offering education classes like emotional health and parenting, mentoring, one-on-one parent support, job coaching, material resources, and referrals to other community organizations.
BLOOM365 is a 501(c)3 non-profit offering comprehensive services that are designed to "uproot" abuse and reach youth (ages 11–24), with a focus on high school students in high-need districts across Maricopa County.
Our safety and well-being programs include a 7-Dose Healthy Relationship Curriculum delivered in schools to build self-advocacy, communication, and conflict resolution skills, as well as free trauma-informed counseling, peer support groups, animal assisted therapy and a confidential helpline (1-888-606-HOPE). Supportive services are also provided for non-offending family members to assist their youth in navigating their healing journey. Critical intervention is provided through Root It Out peer accountability groups for youth at risk of perpetrating harm. Through our training and technical assistance provider, we also offer a "3 Rs" training (Recognize, Respond, Reframe) equips parents, teachers, and coaches as trusted adults. To ensure accessibility, all direct advocacy, crisis support, education curricula, counseling and peer groups are fully adapted to serve all youth, including youth with disabilities.
