Walnut Avenue Family & Women’s Center

I don't understand why they didn't help my friend. Many months have passed and there's been no progress in her case.

Amazing services, Amanda , an advocate, is amazing and helpful, sensitive and supportive. The center provides food/supplies on Fridays and that has also been very useful to get me through the week. Healing has been a long road and walnut Avenue has always been great for support and advice.

This organization is so vital in the lives of the people it helps. It is a great resource for those who need support. Their services helps women and families to feel safer by shareing safety tools, providing advocacy (even in court when seeking protective orders), 24 hour crisis support, counseling, and much more. They are a blessing to have in the community. The people here are supportive, kind, trained, caring individuals who really care about making a positive contribution in society by helping those in need. It is an honorable agency which helps so many people.

When I first arrived in Santa Cruz, I needed to have my annual female checkup. I didn't have any doctors yet so I went to the center and was seen by a nurse practitioner. They were so nice and friendly. I would recommend the center to any woman needing help.

From what I understand this place offers quite a few services for families who are struggling or women in violent relationships. The people there are very compassionate and non judgemental which I appreciate. I would happily refer any of my friends to this facility to get help in their lives.
