''Years ago, when this agency was founded, we were working only with women battered by men. It was a similar mission, but today we know that abuse can happen to men, to teens, to people in same-sex relationships and to the elderly, and we needed our name to more accurately reflect what we do," said center Executive Director Mary Roda.''
Formerly called the Women's Resource Center of South County.
