What does getting help at Pace Women’s Justice Center look like? 💜

It looks like walking in without an appointment.
Getting civil legal services and legal information at no cost.
Communicating in the language you’re most comfortable with.
Speaking with us remotely when that works better for you.
And knowing your information is confidential.

Because seeking legal help can already feel overwhelming. Accessing it shouldn’t be.

At PWJC, we make legal services and information accessible to the survivors who need them, when they need them.

The Westchester County Office for Women (OFW) held its August webinar of the Empower Hour series featuring OFW Acting Director Catherine Borgia and guest, Pace Women's Justice Center Director of Trainings, Outreach and Education, Susan M. Carroll, Esq.

They spoke about the importance of parents having serious conversations with their students (and doing so well in advance of their going off to college), best practices and tips to reduce risks to their personal safety and being familiar with on-campus and off-campus resources and policies regarding assistance should they need them.

Can we pull you for a chat?👀💬

Relationship 🚩 red flags are everywhere—from reality TV and movies to social media feeds. While we can never know the full story behind the relationships we see on screen, these moments can create opportunities to talk about unhealthy relationship dynamics.

Inspired by recent conversations around Love Island USA, we're breaking down toxic red flags like love bombing, triangulation, punishing partners, and avoiding accountability—and why recognizing these patterns matters.

➡️ Swipe through to learn more.

💜 Have you spotted other unhealthy relationship dynamics in the media lately? Tell us in the comments, and save this post for future conversations.

🇺🇸 As we celebrate Independence Day, we’re reminded that freedom isn’t experienced equally by everyone.

For people experiencing abuse, independence can mean obtaining an order of protection, securing custody of a child, filing for divorce, or simply taking the first step toward a life free from violence. It means living without fear, control, or abuse.

At Pace Women’s Justice Center, we’re committed to helping survivors reclaim their independence through free civil legal services and trauma-informed support.

This Fourth of July, we celebrate the freedom every person deserves: the freedom to live safely.

❤️ If you or someone you know needs help, you don't have to face it alone. Call us at (914) 422-4069 or learn more about our services through the link in our bio.

🌈 June is Pride Month, a celebration of love, identity, and community.

And it's also a reminder that domestic violence affects every community. In fact, more than 60% of LGBTQ+ relationships will experience domestic violence.

No one deserves abuse. Everyone deserves safety, respect, and support.

If you or someone you know need help, you are not alone. PWJC attorneys can help explain your rights, explore your options, and help you begin the path to safety & security. Call our main line at 914.422.4069 to speak with someone who can help. 🩷

This Juneteenth, we are reminded of the strength it takes to stand up against injustice.

Today, we commemorate the end of slavery and honor the resilience, achievements, and enduring cultural contributions of African Americans.

At PWJC, we recognize that violence is rooted in dynamics of power and control designed to silence, intimidate, and harm.

We remain committed to addressing these harmful patterns within relationships and families, while ensuring survivors have access to the support, resources, and safe spaces they need to heal, rebuild, and thrive.
