Horrible people resounding agreement with woman below with them being ineffectual and helpful for women suffering current or past crisis. Terrible experience with their "counseling" sessions with Robin L. Leaving without notice, never once intimating they were going to leave and work out of the therapeutic world entirely. Was never told when my "grant" was up to prepare, mental state is worse than I trusted them. HORRIBLE. Run.
July of this year I reached out to the ywca after suffering a 4 year abusive relationship but once I had my son I realized this wasn’t healthy I reached out to the hotline spoke to a woman named Linsey she was so nice & told me they’ll send me a Lyft to pick me I’d stay in a hotel for a few days then be placed in their “transitional housing” place. But before I could leave my abuser took my phone.. I ended up calling a week or more after that was hoping that offer was still available at first they had believe it was.. I left my abuser on the 16th of august the ywca did get me a Lyft food & hotel room for 3 days on my 2nd day my care management reached out & told me took start looking into shelters shelters? I thought this was one WRONG. I did my own research I looked hard remind you I have a baby with me so I was so anxious & scared already for taking this man’s child knowing he would flip but I trusted them & im currently still homeless never received transitional housing I honestly don’t believe it even exists hell one of the hotline workers & my case management told me if I go back at least I’ll be more prepared honestly they set women up to get killed that man would have killed me & they wouldn’t have cared I admit they were nice I mean of course I’d be nice to if I knew I was working a pazi scheme taking money but not applying it & even if I never got the transitional housing it’s still not okay to get women who are already scared & have a hard time trusting people to leave their homes with their kids no clothes just to lie to them thank God for God because idk where me & my son would have been if it wasn’t for calworks not YWCA hey everything happens for a reason but ladies I wouldn’t call them unless you want to be set up to end up missing or dead.
Terrible...made false allegations against me I'm filing a complaint
They are a great support for women and families. They aren't just people working; they are sensitive beings with genuine warmth who empathize with you and have the strength you need to move forward. Thank you.
