| Womencare was founded by Laurie Kahn in 1978 with
the goal of meeting the special needs of women and their partners,
friends and families.
At Womencare, we believe that positive change occurs as a result
of collaborative partnerships. To accomplish this, we use a relational
model that is non-pathologizing and empowering. |
