ANNUAL
REPORT
JULY 1, 2021 - JUNE 30, 2022
Whether it was your turn to reach out FOR help or to OFFER help,
WRC’s work continues because of you – because of your courage, your
perseverance, and your grit as we face daunting obstacles and the
ongoing pandemic together.
“WRC has
helped me
greatly get
to where I am
today and will
be extremely
helpful with
helping me
navigate
tomorrow.”
~ WRC client
The psychological and financial recovery from a difficult challenge
requires an uphill journey — often much longer than we would like it
to be. Experts estimate that it takes 3-5 years to regain one’s financial
footing after a divorce. With the prevalence of physical and systemic
violence against women, especially women of color, the recovery
process becomes even more challenging and painful.
Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance,
argues that grit (defined as the ability to pursue goals with passion
and perseverance as if they are a marathon and not a sprint) is more
important to one’s success than your intellect or IQ.
It is through our shared grit, passion and perseverance this year, that
WRC was able to ...
• provide the highest number of Counseling sessions in our 47- year
history, in addition to continuing virtual minimal-cost Legal
Consultation and Helpline support,
• launch the pilot Financial Stability program, along with volunteer
financial and career coaching, to support long-term financial stability
for women
• restore Girls Lead to pre-pandemic participation levels, and
• implement a shared commitment to equity and inclusion for all
women and girls
Thank you for sharing your passion and perseverance with WRC as we
work to create a world where every woman and girl has the resources,
tools, and support to thrive!

Top Five Reasons for Calling WRC’s Helpline
Volunteer Linda Stine
working from home
answering a Helpline call
Who answers
the Helpline?
The WRC Helpline is volunteer
driven, with training and guidance
provided by Helpline Coordinator
Debbie Bell and other WRC staff.
How did COVID-19
affect the Helpline?
WRC volunteers answered the
Helpline safely from home using
remote technology, so that
Helpline callers and emailers
could reach resources during
the ongoing pandemic.

“The women that call
the Helpline have so
many challenges and
hurdles to overcome.
It could be domestic
abuse, lack of secure
housing and other
basic needs, or a
stressful
custody
battle or
divorce.
There are
no easy or
short answers
to any of these
issues. The
women that call
us have to have
perseverance. That is
why we are here to
support them and help
them find their own
strengths to persevere
by giving them
information, resources,
counseling support,
legal assistance, and
just listening in
a respectful and
compassionate way.”

COUNSELING
The Counseling program seeks to instill long
term resiliency and coping skills so that clients
can successfully navigate life’s challenging
transitions now and into the future. WRC’s
Counseling team is led by Clinical Director Kai
Qualls, M.A., LPC. Kai oversees two counselors
and four counseling interns.
Serving during the ongoing Pandemic
The pandemic brought with it additional layers
of complexity and challenge for our clients, with
increased pressures leading to more prevalent
anxiety and depression. The Counseling team
responded to both the heightened need and
complexity of client issues, and offered services
regardless of client income and based on a sliding scale.

Lydia Lawson

Counseling saw its session count increase by 14%
over the prior year. Indeed, in responding to the
community’s needs, Counseling at WRC has grown
over 560% in sessions over the past six years!
Kelly Pohlig
Counseling Intern
Brittany Pride

Deanna Crawford
Counseling Intern
Safety during the pandemic continued to be a
prevalent concern last year, and the Counseling
team used a HIPAA compliant online therapy portal to
engage with clients individually and in group courses.
Additional Counseling Resources
This past year, Counseling supplemented its services
with an eight-week Mindful Clarity group training
course, emphasizing mindfulness and meditation
techniques, as well as an eight-week Anxiety group
course, which taught skills in reducing anxiety and
increasing resilience in the face of uncertainty.
The Counseling program shares some of its resilience
techniques through Sassy’s Blog, named after the very
astute cat of our Clinical Director Kai Qualls. WRC
counselors contribute to this resilience-based blog.
When asked about perseverance
and our clients, Clinical Director
Kai Qualls quoted Confucius:
“It doesn’t matter how slowly you go,
so long as you do not stop.”
“ You have been an invaluable
resource for me.
~ Counseling client

Market Valuation of Counseling Services
The total market value of our Counseling services last year (assuming a market rate of $125/hour),
provided to our clients at little to no cost, was nearly $200,000!

FINANCIAL STABILITY
Program Manager
Karen Chonofsky
Resource Coordinator
Kimberley Johnson
WRC’s new program to meet
the community’s evolving needs
WRC launched the Financial Stability program to help
women achieve incomes that would meet their household
expenses while growing financially. Women earning a low
income are often stymied in a cycle of poverty. Research
done by WRC concluded that four factors were key in
influencing financial stability for women: agency &
resilience, education, income and assets.
These four areas are supported by Resource Coordination,
Financial Coaching, Career Coaching, Counseling, and an
18-month PHEBE cohort. PHEBE stands for Persistence,
Hope and Endurance in overcoming Barriers to Equity.
The PHEBE cohort’s aim is to bring greater awareness
and understanding of agency and resilience in the face
of structural barriers.
“
It is a great service for any woman
in need, glad to get the help
I received when I needed them.
~ Financial Stability client
“It takes a lot of
perseverance to become
financially stable,
especially since the
start of COVID-19 and
the job losses women
have experienced.
We strive to be a
partner in their corner
to ensure that they can
persevere and achieve
their goals, by helping
them manage their
household budget,
identify higher-paying
career opportunities,
and providing resources
to answer their legal
and financial questions.”

FAMILY LAW PROGRAM
Divorce, Custody, Support
Legal Services Coordinator
Kim Dudick, Esq.
WRC is one of the few organizations in
the greater Philadelphia area to offer
low-cost Family Law consultations on
divorce, custody and support. Local
Family Law volunteer attorneys offer
consultations in half hour segments,
scheduled by WRC.
Many women who use this Program
are in financial need and are going
through the divorce process without legal representation. Many
are also in unhealthy relationships in which they experience
financial, physical, and / or psychological abuse.
Attorney Kim Dudick, Supervising Attorney at the Law Offices
of Jennifer J. Riley, coordinates our Family Law Program.
The attorneys in the program work pro bono for WRC. The
consultations are held virtually with the participating attorney,
due to the ongoing pandemic. In addition to these Legal
Consultations, WRC offers referrals to local affiliate attorneys who
provide a one-time consultation for free or at a reduced rate.
Currently, WRC offers virtual Family Law consultations
six times monthly, with times available on our website:
womensresourcecenter.net
“
I am immensely grateful for your services. The PA Family
Law resource guide and the consultation have helped me
feel much more confident and in control of my situation.
Guide to Family Law
~ Family Law client
“It takes a lot of
perseverance for
clients to even
reach out to
WRC. Our Legal
Consultations
seek to provide
each client with
the necessary
tools, such as
legal knowledge
and resources,
to build upon
that perseverance
and take the next
steps in any
family law
matters.”
~ Kim Dudick, Esq.
WRC also offers an in-house publication called A Guide to Family Law in Pennsylvania
at a nominal cost. This easy to read primer helps women understand the legal
processes surrounding divorce, custody and support and the court fees involved.
Market Valuation of Legal Consultations
The market value of our Family Law consultations and referrals, assuming a
lawyer’s fee of $350 per hour, climbed to nearly $90,000 last year. Our program
is offered at very low cost and during the pandemic, accessible virtually.

GIRLS LEAD
Volunteer Girls Lead
Program Director
Kristen Burd
Girls Lead helps
mostly middle
school girls with
untapped
leadership
potential,
who are chosen
by their guidance
counselors,
develop leadership
and life skills
that help them avoid pitfalls common to
adolescent girls. A WRC literature review
revealed four common protective skills:
communication, conflict resolution,
decision-making, and problem solving.
WRC facilitators instill these skills during
the first half of the 17-session program.
During the second half, facilitators guide
the participants in conceptualizing and
implementing a Leadership Project,
which uses their newly honed skills
“
Outcomes
Market Valuation of the Girls Lead Program
to benefit their school and greater
community. At the end of the program,
Girls Lead hosts a conference bringing
the cohorts from the different schools
together to present their Leadership
Projects to each other.
This past year, Girls Lead was
implemented virtually and in-person
at 13 participating schools in Chester,
Delaware and Montgomery counties.
Girls Lead is needed more than ever and
is thriving despite the ongoing pandemic.
Life skills that help girls become more
assertive in their relationships while
considering multiple viewpoints, managing
conflict, expressing themselves with
confidence and making good decisions
are a priority during times of high stress.
The virtual conference successfully brought
together the 179 participants over Zoom
with the theme: “Girls Can Do Anything!”
It has honestly helped me speak up
about issues that need to be solved.

bringing the valuation of the entire program to $277,500!
“Perseverance is

EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
WRC thanks Board member Bridgett
Battles for leading our Diversity,
Equity & Inclusion Taskforce. The DEI
Taskforce, comprising members of
the Board, staff and volunteers, leads
the planning and implementation of
WRC’s strategies related to embracing
diversity and strengthening equity
and inclusion for all members of the
communities we serve. Key initiatives
over the past year included the
development of WRC’s Commitment
to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion,
inviting feedback from clients,
volunteers, and staff regarding how
included they felt in their interactions
with WRC, expanding the Diversity
Spotlight feature of the email
newsletter, and the development
of strategic objectives for WRC’s
diversity, equity and inclusion work
for the next three years.
One client shared that she had
utilized WRC’s counseling and legal
services. The client shared that
her counselor was “compassionate
and kind and really helped her to
empower herself” and the attorney
was helpful as well. The client stated
that she “was treated with respect
from the first time she called” and
was so appreciative because she is a
recent immigrant and is not always
treated this way.
DEI Taskforce Chair Bridgett Battles
Women Speak
Women Speak, WRC’s interview TV show, continued into its third year in collaboration with MLTV-Main Line
Network on its television and YouTube channels. Host Dr. Mojdeh Keykhah, WRC’s Director of Development and
Communications, interviewed Nicole Stephenson, Executive Director of the Society of Professional Women of
The Main Line Chamber of Commerce and Kristy Olinger, an Organizational Development Consultant with the
Consumer Bank at Citizens Bank and member of its Women’s Impact Network. Due to COVID-19, the interviews
were conducted over Zoom.

WRC is grateful to Board Member Jennifer Bilotta, Public Relations Chair, for helping to engage these and other
press opportunities over the past year to get the word out about WRC’s programs and services.

The Women’s Resource Center envisions a world
where women, girls and their families have

address the needs compounded by the pandemic
and ongoing systemic inequities.

opportunities are accessible, culturally relevant
and welcoming of all women and girls
throughout the Philadelphia region.
