Resources

The Women's Collective is a safe, supportive and women-centered environment that offers several valuable resources to women. Ranging from therapeutic and counseling sessions to HIV/AIDS prevention devices to super-fast internet and email access, The Women's Collective Drop-in Resource Center is emerging as a "one-stop" location for women's HIV/AIDS support.

Among our resources are:



Drop-in Resorces Center
Our Resource Center offers a prized resource for many women: a retreat to collect one's thoughts. A still place to gather strength.

Sometimes, something so simple can be a great blessing.

With comfortable furniture, inspiring artwork, snacks and refreshments our resource center enables women to relax in ways that are sometimes rare. We encourage our clients and women in need to drop by, anytime the Women's Collective is open (M-F 9:00 am to 5:00 pm).
