The mission of Women and Children's Horizons is to provide support, shelter, education, training and healing services to victims of sexual and domestic abuse, their families and the community.

As we all try to navigate during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have many staff working from home, most will have access to their email. The administration office is open intermittently and the shelter is open. Please call 262-652-9900 if you are in need of services.  We will try to serve some clients over the phone if possible.  We are also asking that you do not bring any donations. 

Nifty Thrifty is closed until further notice. We will re-evaluate on a regular basis. We are also asking that you please do not bring donations to Nifty Thrifty until we re-open.  We will definitely be needing donors and shoppers when we return. We look forward to seeing you then!

We will continue to evaluate and monitor the situation daily. We appreciate your understanding during these difficult circumstances. Many are financially affected, which is likely true of all non-profits. If you would like to support Women and Children's Horizons you can make a donation on this website (bottom of screen) or visit our Facebook page. We appreciate your support and hope that we can resume our normal business operations soon! Take care everyone and remember to choose kindness as we are all in this together!

Children's Services

Child needs are addressed through various groups, such as the Child Witness Groups. Child Witness groups, for residents and non-resident children, allow children to learn and talk about domestic violence and its effects on them. Children learn about safety plans, self-esteem, healthy behavior and more.

Safe Exchange

The Primary goal is to help parents reduce the stress of visitation exchanges with their children. 

• Supervised transfers of children from one parent to the other
• Neutral site for regular visitation
• Staggered arrival and departure times to eliminate contact between parents
• Pre-registration required
