Our mission

Solutions for Women is committed to the empowerment of women. Our mission is to support and connect women to resources, encourage emotional wellness and promote education so women aspire to become leaders in their community.

At Solutions, “Experience is the best teacher.” Through shared, lived experiences, we teach what we know. We began in 2010 as a network of women supporting one another after exiting the criminal justice system and recovery programs, and we have been walking the road together ever since.
