Mission Statement The mission of Women and Children's Horizons, Inc. is to provide support, education, training, and healing to victims of sexual and domestic violence/abuse.
WCH History Women and Children’s Horizons was established in 1976 and is the oldest incorporated shelter in Wisconsin. The foundation for Women and Children’s was set in April, 1976 when a Kenosha Vista supervisor became disturbed by statistics which showed the undeniable seriousness of domestic violence against women. Together with twenty two other women and men, the group set up WCH's first 24 hour crisis line.
With only one public service announcement, the response to the crisis
line was staggering, fielding 50 calls within a 24 hour period. Recognizing
the strong community need, the group legally incorporated Women’s
Horizons, (later renamed Women and Children's Horizons) in October 1976.
Today WCH is a well respected agency in the Kenosha community and has
broadened its mission and extended services well beyond the 24 hour crisis
line. Women
and Children's Horizons provides a 24 hour crisis line and shelter, children's
services, hospital advocacy, domestic and sexual victim advocacy, transitional
living, legal advocacy, group support and a certified batterers' treatment
program for both men and women. WCH also provides a food pantry, clothing
closet and household goods storeroom. Many programs are offered in Spanish
and English. Fundraisers and Outreach
