Hazen Medical Spa in Princeton held a grand opening event on October 8, 2015. All proceeds were donated to the Womanspace organization. The event featured demonstrations throughout the day with owner and operator Dr. Jill Hazen, a tour of the medical spa and refreshments. The event was a success, earning Womanspace a profit of nearly $2,000 to provide potentially life-saving services to victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and human trafficking.
Founded in 1977, Womanspace, Inc. is a leading nonprofit agency in Mercer County whose mission is to Prevent Abuse, Protect Families and Change Lives through empowerment and a safety net of supportive services. Womanspace bilingual (English and Spanish) programs include 24-hour crisis intervention through crisis hotlines, response teams, and emergency shelter; counseling for adults and children, court advocacy and housing services. Their goal is to assist survivors both at-the-moment of crisis and throughout their journey of emotional healing and the achievement of economic independence.
Womanspace is one of only eight agencies in the state that is specifically focused on providing potentially life-saving services to victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and human trafficking. Domestic violence and sexual assault are not just women’s issues, and they are not just individual or family problems. Violence against women is a human issue, and a social problem. It is up to the community to take a stand against abuse, hold abusers accountable for their behavior and protect victims. In addition to the 24 hour Mercer County Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Hotlines (609) 394-9000, Womanspace also operates the New Jersey Statewide Domestic Violence Hotline, (800) 572-SAFE. Last year Womanspace served 11,202 adults and children, impacted by domestic and sexual violence. For more information, please visit WOMANSPACE.org or call (609) 394-0136.
