Willow Domestic Violence Center, formerly Alternatives for Battered Women, operates in the field of individual and family services from Rochester, New York. It provides a full continuum of free and confidential domestic violence services to survivors in Monroe County, serving more than 7,000 people annually and reaching about 15,000 more through prevention education programs, and it is the only New York State certified domestic violence service provider serving Monroe County. Based in Rochester for nearly four decades, the organization rebranded in 2015 to reflect the broader range of services it offers. Its mission focuses on preventing domestic violence and ensuring survivors have access to the necessary supports on their path to safety and empowerment, while its vision describes a community in which healthy relationships can thrive. The center operates according to six guiding values—respect, inclusion, survivor-centered practice, trust, excellence, and collaboration—that shape its approach to service delivery and partnerships.
