What People are saying: "Domestic Violence has historically been a hidden issue in our community, as it is in most communities. Because people have been so hesitant to talk about it, it has been difficult to identify the families in need of help. Adelante is helping to educate the community about domestic violence and appropriate family interactions. In doing so, it has encouraged more women to come forward and discuss their concerns about challenging situations in the home, so they can get the help they need." - Celso Rodriguez, one of Adelante's founding board members

The Nosotras Program empowers Latina women with the knowledge and confidence needed to be strong and independent and to excel in caring for their families.

It works with women at risk for alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and provides educational and support sessions to ensure healthy, confident, and empowered families.

Nosotras also helps connect women with support services such as General Equivalency Diploma (GED) and English a Second Language (ESL) classes through inner-office referrals to other agency programs. In conjunction with the Department of Health, we offer all pregnant women a network of referral sources for pre-and post-natal services.
In addition, Adelante makes referrals to other area providers for emergency food,
clothing and shelter as needed.

The Nosotras Program has impacted hundreds of at-risk Latinas since its inception.

What our clients are saying about Nosotras:

“Nosotras has given me counseling on how to interact with my kids, and it has helped me to become more of an independent woman. It helps me find solutions for my problems. My kids benefit too, because it is good for them to see their mom happier.” – Mariyln Negrin

“[Adelante has] been helping me learn how to take care of my little boy. They even help me make arrangements for and provide me with transportation for clinic appointments when he needs to go to the doctor. I am going to keep coming here, and I hope to learn English and get a job. Adelante will help me get a better future.” – Rosa Santiago
