Went to the Women's Center for Advancement today and I have this advice:…read more Ask too many questions about whether you're eligible, because sometimes you're not allowed services depending on what kind of abuse it was. I feel like a jerk leaving a bad review for an obviously altruistic organization, but I drove 45 mins from "home" in a car with no AC in Satan's armpit weather because when I told them my case information on the phone they said they could help me. They didn't. I got there, I waited, I was told they were only helping people being abused by an intimate partner, employee asks if I can wait while they double check with the director so I said sure, because I had spent an hour on the phone from my car-with-no-AC and driven around all day and waited on other offices and I had no idea what to do if this place didn't work. Employee returns. Nope, we're not helping you. Here's somewhere else to try. Did you call them to see if I'm eligible? Nah. You can. Gestures to office phone. For that long of a wait, that's the LEAST, bare minimum thing they could've done. Guy had JUST taken all my case info and had the paper right in front of his face. Also, I came in at 3 something and it was after 5 by then, so I'm not sure who they thought I would reach. The night janitor? And then I saw the list and it was everywhere I'd already been. All the calm voices and whatnot counts for nothing if you don't DO anything. It's like multiplying by zero. I left frustrated and belittled. Worse off than when I walked in, down an afternoon I could've spent doing anything else if they'd been honest upfront. It would've taken less time to help me than do all this instead. Ask them EVERYTHING before you walk in. And then ask some more.
