As an Intern at The Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan I had no idea the many different things I would learn about myself nor about my clients. I am utterly amazed at the personal growth I have experienced while working at The Women's Center for only 5 short months. I have learned and began to craft and develop my abilities as a therapist and I am forever in debt to The Women's Center. My supervisor and the supporting staff at The Women's Center has encouraged me to explore different avenues with my clients but ultimately they have allowed me flourish and grow into my role as a therapist. The support here is second to none and I know I would not be the therapist I am now, if it weren't for The Women's Center. Thank you for everything!
The Great!

I have been a volunteer for the Women's Center for two years and have enjoyed the interaction I have with the staff as well as our clients. The Women's Center has been very instrumental in reaching out to the community to provide the necessary services needed for the women in this county.

Self determination can mean a lot of different things. Whether people are seeking ways to stay afloat financially, seeking a job, or struggling personally through a difficult time, the Women's Center is there. With everything from financial counseling to personal therapy, the staff, interns, and volunteers seek to give women and girls the confidence and knowledge to stand on their own feet and make the decisions that are best for them. Hundreds of women contact the center for referrals and direct help. The staff is so dedicated-- this is no 9 to 5 job for them. The staff and interns have a special dedication to women, and a passion for helping people as individuals, no matter where they are in their life. Even if someone just comes in to use the Clothes Closet (professional clothes for job interviews) or get more information in a divorce seminar, this organization changes lives.

As a former board member, I had firsthand insight into the administration of The Women's Center. The leadership's passion for this center's mission was matched by a thoughtful, conscientious stewardship of limited resources. The community views The Women's Center, rightly, as a true treasure.

During the 10 years I have been volunteering at the Women's Center I have met many wonderful people that I count as friends and have learned a lot about the programs that are available to help people through difficult times. I look forward to going to the Women's Center each week and feel that I have gained as much in my own life as I have given in service. It is a wonderful, caring place that really lives up to the ideals of service and helping others.

I'm unsure of what to call myself at this organization, but I think volunteer best describes it. I have been volunteering here since January, and I can say from first-hand experience that this organization is really here to change people's lives for the better. Not only do we provide personal counseling, we also empower women by finding them resources as well as building skills in them to advocate for themselves. This organization really is one in a million and if you can volunteer, work, or even spend a minute at the Center, you will find that you too can make a difference in the lives of countless women.

I was involved in helping to paint and move the Women's Center to its new location. It was by far the most fun and rewarding experience I have ever had. Not only was everyone so great and helpful but they acknowledged your hard work. It is always great to be appreciated especially when you are moving large and heavy things.

As a former counseling volunteer, I heartily support the The Women's Center. They provided me with knowledge, experience, training skills and friendship in a warm, supportive environment. I cherish my experiences with the Women's Center and hope to volunteer there again soon.

In the world of mental health care approximately 80%-90% of the publicly available funds go to programs that help approximately 10% of the most severely impacted people. That leaves a very large number of people in need of care and support but who cannot afford private practitioner rates. The Women's Center is one a very few agencies that help to fill that gap.
I came to the center as an intern while working on my MSW and found the Center to be one of the most amazing agencies I'd ever encountered. After finishing me degree I found I did not want to leave the Center, the experience had been so fulfilling and the work they do being so important in the community. I have since returned as a volunteer therapist to continue helping in the great work the Center does.

In completing my internship last year I had to end sessions with all of the clients I had been seeing. Each and every one of them expressed appreciation not only for the work we did but for the Center being able to provide those services, where they would not have otherwise been able to receive the help they were looking for.

The Center functions well and effectively as it is. I cannot imagine needing to make changes.
