Counseling needs have certainly changed in the 20 years since WomenSpace began to address women's problems through peer counseling in the mid-Seventies. Women's Counseling & Resource Center (WCRC) developed from there. Today, WCRC has sessions on topics like codependency, family roles/parenting, sexual harassment, and assertiveness training. Austin Women's Addiction Referral & Education Center (AWARE) tackles the tough issues inherent to drug and alcohol abuse. They provide counseling for women who have addictions and for those who have family members with substance-abuse problems. Both organizations operate through Austin YWCA and always welcome volunteers.
