Since its inception, Thousand Waves has developed partnerships with a wide range of institutions in order to bring the skills of safety and empowerment out into the community, reaching thousands of people who would probably never

come to our Center, but are able to receive the benefits of our training because we provide it in a setting that is safe, comfortable and convenient – where they work, receive services, or go to school.
