The Women’s Resource Center in Norman is dedicated to stopping the cycle of domestic violence in Oklahoma.

They provide a wide variety of programs including a crisis center shelter for those needing a safe place and a satellite office for other services.

All their crisis lines are open 24/7 and even though their name says women center they are available for anyone in need of a safe place.

The Women’s Resource Center employee Erica Maynord explains speaking up is the first step.

“Start by telling someone that you really trust. Here at the Women’s Resource Center we start by believing. So anything you come to us and say we believe you we’re here for you.”
