In order to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, Womanspace’s Administrative and Counseling Offices have been closed since March 16. In accordance with Governor Murphy’s Executive Order #107, Womanspace Admin and Counseling Offices will remain closed until further notice. We also won’t be accepting donations at this time, other than monetary. 

Womanspace will continue to be available 24/7 via its hotlines, local 609-394-9000 and statewide 800-572-SAFE. Those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing can text Womanspace at 609-619-1888. For specific questions regarding services, contact our hotlines. Calls will be answered by a trained Womanspace staff member. Our Safehouse and Transitional Housing Programs are fully functioning and supporting clients. If it is safe to do so, counselors will be touch with their clients. All phone messages will be checked daily.

For administrative matters, phone messages will be checked regularly and emails can be sent to [email protected], which will be checked regularly. All administrative staff are working remotely and accessible via email.

The safety and health of our staff and clients is our first priority. We will monitor the situation and make weekly decisions based on instruction from the Governor’s Office. Follow our Womanspace Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages and check out our website at www.womanspace.org as all of those sites will carry the latest information about the agency.
