Product overview

Younity (formerly Womanspace) is a nonprofit social services organization offering a comprehensive, integrated suite of crisis support and prevention services for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. The organization operates a portfolio of interconnected programs centered on a 24/7 crisis hotline (Hotlines), emergency shelter (Safe House), transitional housing, and longer-term residential support (Transitional Housing). Core clinical services include the Counseling and Support Center offering individual, group, and family counseling with specialized EMDR therapy for trauma, and Court Advocacy helping survivors navigate restraining orders and legal proceedings. Specialized programs address specific populations including pet-friendly housing (Pet Advocacy Program), youth education (Peer Educator Program), and school-based outreach (Education and Outreach). Response Teams of Mercer County provide immediate in-person advocacy at hospitals and police stations, while Safety Planning offers personalized emergency preparedness. The portfolio is unified by a mission to provide a continuum of care from crisis intervention through long-term stability and healing.
