Had a protection order for me AND my children against my ex. They helped me file the report, I did all the writing they just submitted it. I KNOW I sounded frantic with the lady (she was mixed/black) and I was telling her it was u safe to be in my home because he will get bonded out and come straight there. She flat out told me, we can’t help you find an apartment and don’t do funding for assistance on deposits or anything like that. Now my friend is using them and guess what they’re doing? HELPING RELOCATE AND PAY FOR IT!! Clearly it’s based if who they want to help. Do not recommend at all.

Sorely disappointed by this organization. It's a non-profit run more like a corporation. Staff suffer under management and the turn over is rapid because of it. Their helpline never offered me help nor support on any occasion of calling. Their legal support can only help you if the case is in Douglas county regardless of where you live and they have a short list of types of cases and timelines they accept. Possibly the most upsetting, especially as a licensed mental health professional, is how the support groups have lost their heart and their peer-to-peer structure for one that puts the facilitators in a place of authority.

Specifically referred here for help with my divorce case.
Received some legal advice but no representation as they made clear from the intake they do not legally represent anyone in court.
However I was told by 2 other people, after my case was finalized by Judge Derr, the WCA represented them in court for their divorce cases.
So preferential treatment is likely or some kind of scale in terms of what makes your case able to be represented.
The caseworker gave me lists of resources and said she would sit in court with me.
But honestly I was so past overwhelmed and needed someone to make calls , help me put papers together for my divorce, help me figure out how to bring my information to court and be able to speak to it so that I could at the very least feel I advocated for myself because no other law firm in town was willing to take my case because they saw no way to win (or did not want to advocate for me).
I needed an actual person to help me not give me more calls to make. I didn’t need some random person sitting in court who has met me for 1 hour and can’t speak to anything about me as a person while I just sit there and am laughed at and treated as less than by Judge Derr, Katie, his typist, and my ex’s lawyer Heather Horst at Walz Law.
This is just my experience.
It felt like I wasted time, energy, emotions at a time when there was everything to lose.
My case is over now, there is no redemption in my story.
But I understand now I was in survivor mindset.
This organization helps people who are in victim mindset.
So if you are reading this and you are in survivor/fiercely independent mindset;
Stop being the survivor and be the victim.
It will mess with your psyche but maybe you will be helped.
I am not sure the people in the organization truly understand reactive abuse, coercive control, psychological manipulation, etc because I was treated like an abnormal person vs the typical person they normally get seeking advocacy.
My case and legal issues are settled against me, and I did not get the “after the divorce your new life starts” experience. So many people will tell you this but there is likely so much healing you will have to work through - give yourself a longer timeline.
And embrace that life will probably be worse after the divorce for a long while before it gets better, from my real life experience.
Or maybe my scars and openness here will help you get the help I couldn’t get, and help you start a new life sooner rather than later.

This place is absolutely God-given blessing. They are the most amazing true to who they are organization that I’ve ever dealt with in my entire life. I hope we can continue to support them so they can continue to help the women of Nebraska that need the help!!

I wish I could leave a negative star review. This place made me feel more alone and defeated than ever. They only worsened my emotions and mental state through refusal to help. I am so sorry I ever reached out to them.

I didn't get the help I needed. I admit I have called several different times and was scared to leave. Because if I left OHA said I could not get my belongings. So my last 33 days in the house were mentally and emotionally beyond words. I finally got out only to be left on the sidewalk to sleep outside. I'm scared and still have nowhere to go.

Disappointed, WCA acted as if I don’t deserve compassion, decency or assistance.

Wasn't worth my time. Gave me only resources that I could have called dhhs for and gotten in 5 minutes vs the hours I spent with them. No help with anything financially that I needed and lied about half the resources they gave to me. Any of the charities I called said they don't know why I wad told they could help with my problem as they they'vent do that. Gave me wrong phones numbers to other financial resource groups. Their counselor had the front door locked when I arrived and I had a hungry 3 month old in 81° heat I was trying to feed. Finally returned my call almost 10 minutes after my appointment and.i told her idk if I wanna go through with our session. Her response was great have a great on and hung up. Would have been great to get actual help vs having a week of my life wasted. A week I could have used to gain independence on my own. Will never trust another women's center again.
