Bill Wilson Center's mission is to support and strengthen the community by serving youth and families through counseling, housing, education, and advocacy.

With an emphasis on youth development, Bill Wilson Center programs focus on building self-confidence and developing personal assets. With these tools, we believe youth can permanently change the direction of their lives.

A key component of Bill Wilson Center's philosophy encompasses a strength based approach to youth development. Our staff and volunteers identify the strengths in each youth and build on those strengths as youth are empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

While the agency is focused on youth, creating a healthy, safe community requires that people in all age groups receive the support they need. For this reason, Bill Wilson Center also offers services for adults and families.

I Wish There Was A PAW TEAM in San Jose Ca

PAW Team is a volunteer-based organization. Services are provided by volunteer veterinarians, vet techs, and others from the Portland community interested in helping people on the streets and their companion/service animals.



In our early years, PAW Team typically saw from 20-40 pets at each quarterly clinic. Each year that number increased bit by bit, until we were caring for an average of 70 animals at each quarterly clinic in 2009, with a few exceptionally heavy clinics where we treated up to 100 pets. When we began our monthly clinics in 2010, we expected to maintain or even decrease our average of 70 or so pets per clinic, since we would be increasing the number of clinics in each year. However, at our monthly clinics in 2010, we treated an average of 142 pets, with no signs of slowing down. We now have to turn away clients due to lack of funds. There is clearly a tremendous need for these services in our community.

Safe@work Coalition, Domestic Violence and the Workplace

Domestic Violence as a Workplace Issue

Domestic Violence is the leading cause of injury to women. It impacts one out of every four women. Problems of domestic violence frequently spill into the workplace. Batterers commit 13,000 violent acts against their partners in the workplace each year. Batterers also pose serious threats to the safety of their victims' co-workers. Research shows that their husbands or boyfriends at work harassed 74 percent of employed battered women. Every month, domestic violence caused 56 percent of them to be late at least five times, 28 percent to leave early at least five days and 54 percent to be late for work at least five times. As a result many workers face disciplinary action.

Employment is the key to a domestic violence victim's economic self-sufficiency, but the US General Accounting Office found that one-quarter to one-half of domestic violence victims surveyed lost a job due, at least in part, to domestic violence.
