I have attached a series of updated resource lists historically compiled by the Women’s Center.  These lists address the following basic needs:

• Health care
• Rent & utility assistance
• Transitional housing
• Counseling
• Dental services

Hard copies are available inside the Women’s Center on the bulletin board and just outside of the Center, in the clear wall-mounted resource pockets (CC 2444B). 

Other resources that are available to community members include the Crisis Clinic, a non-profit offering support services to everyone in King County.  They have access to a computerized database of more than 13,000 health and human services providers, can communicate with callers in 155 languages, and have a searchable  database available at: www.crisisclinic.org.  Their 24 hour crisis line is: 1-866-4CRISIS or 1-866-427-4747. 

Additionally, the Women’s Center has an existing partnership with Public Health of Seattle & King County.  Penny Lara-Figueroa is a bilingual (Spanish/English) outreach specialist who makes campus visits every Thursday from 11:00am – 12:30pm outside of the cafeteria.  She promotes public health programs, makes referrals, and helps people apply for medical/food/energy assistance. 

NSCC’s Women’s Center is available to female and male students as a referral center.  Please feel free to come by and explore our resources and to send students this way – I am here to help them find the services they need to stay in school and be successful.
