“Having a beautiful, calm space where a woman can take her time in telling her story and to be heard is so important. It’s where she can have a moment to sit and reflect on her own wants and needs – which she might not have had a chance to feel, maybe in her whole life."
What is Wayside Chapel Women's Program?
