Madonna Place

Madonna Place strengthens families to prevent child abuse and neglect through our comprehensive services of education, advocacy, and community collaboration. 

Our Journey of Support

Madonna Place began as a respite center for women with children in 1981 and incorporated in 1987 in the city of Norwich, CT.  Since its beginning, Madonna Place continues to be an inviting and safe place for families to receive support, resources, and services.  Each year, over 650 families are served by our programs. We are grateful to the community for making our work possible.
