Advocating a Way for Adults and Youth or AWAY (formerly the Women’s Resource Center) was established in 1983 as a private, non-profit organization serving victims of sexual assault and domestic violence and their families. AWAY’s professional staff and volunteers provide advocacy, information and referral, community education, support and counseling to abuse victims. Emergency housing is available for the region at the shelter in Beckley. Additional support services are provided to victims through four outreach offices. AWAY maintains its services through various grants and the community support of Raleigh, Fayette, Nicholas and Summers County residents.
