In 2019, Center for Women in Transition was rebranded to become Resilience: Advocates for Ending Violence. It was our goal to create a brand that better represents the diverse population in which we live and serve. Since 1977, we’ve seen the need for help in Ottawa and Allegan counties. And we’ve grown accordingly; expanded our reach, evolved our services, and created new partnerships and programs to stop intergenerational violence once and for all. Resilience proudly serves all survivors – regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, immigration status, or any other ethos.

All services are confidential and free of charge. Not sure what to expect when you come in? CLICK HERE for a virtual tour.
