How We Impact the Community

We provide hope and healing to victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Last year, nearly 1,800 of our Napa County community members sought help from NEWS. Our services include an emergency Shelter home, 24-hour Help Line, court advocacy, support groups, transitional housing, community education, programs for children exposed to domestic violence, and support to youth experiencing intimate partner violence.

All of our services are free, bilingual, confidential, voluntary, and open to everyone: men, women, children, and LGBTQ+, regardless of immigration status.

Our goal is to encourage and empower our clients to lift themselves and their children into a healing and safe environment.

We bring respect, understanding, and resources to survivors. We foster kindness and support from the community to help create peaceful homes and healthy neighborhoods.

Testimonial

Jane walked into NEWS in crisis during Thanksgiving week. I started her intake at our Admin Office and finished it at the Queen, as she went into labor. With NEWS’ help, she and her baby are thriving! They recently moved into an apartment – the first ever by herself!

Mariela, NEWS housing advocate
