The Northwest Catholic Counseling Center has a special commitment to disenfranchised single women and mothers. Overwhelming odds face this population:

• 140,000 Oregon children live below the federal poverty level ($22,050 a year for a family of four).
• Nearly 1 in 3 women will suffer from domestic violence, 40% of whom will become homeless.
• 110,000 Oregon children have no health insurance.
• Depression is the leading cause of disability in women.

Hope comes each fall with the Circle of Strength Fundraising Luncheon. Every year a group of woman gather and raise thousands of dollars to support the counseling needs of low-income mothers and their children.  As a result of this event, women and their children will receive:

• Individual and family counseling
• Community connections (jobs, education, financial and legal support)
• Effective parenting and life skills
• Supportive environment for change
• School consultation
