ADVOCACY

"He took away my sense of safety that night. But, thanks to the Women's Center my rapist will not have any more of my life, not one single night." -Sexual Assault Survivor

“Florida Blue has been a proud supporter of WCJ’s work in the community to help people recover from sexual assault and the stigmas that often shame survivors into silence. Our mission is to help people and communities achieve better health, which is why we support groups like WCJ so people of all genders in Northeast Florida can use their voices, survive, and thrive in a new, positive future that includes better physical and mental health.”

I support the Women’s Center because I am a woman. I understand, through lived experience, the critical importance of the services provided by the agency to women and people of all genders in our community.

I'm proud to support WCJ. The nonprofit organization is committed to helping all people lead better, more fulfilling lives. From no to low-cost therapy and breast cancer support to sexual assault services and a 24-hour rape crisis hotline, WCJ advocates, supports and educates people of all genders in Northeast Florida.

SUPPORT

"This place is perfect the way it is; the staff are like a second family to me. WCJ has gone above and beyond to show me ways to heal. I feel safe and confident in my healing process; I wouldn’t want to go to anyone else."

EDUCATION

"You blessed me! How can I say enough - I've never felt so loved and smiled for the first time. You are a team for all of us. We can't do a lot but say thank you, thank you. You are all my family!"
