Women's Service Explanation: Just one possible idea (Women's Clinic sounds like a purely gynaecological thing) |

women's trauma unit Explanation: This is what I would call it, but perhaps it doesn't qualify for a "non-wordy" equivalent. I agree with Armorel's suggestion, as long as there is sufficient context. Otherwise, "women's service" could be interpreted rather broadly. |

women's therapy clinic Explanation: I think you need to convey somehow that it is for mental health, not GYN, social center, or place for babysitting services and a gym, etc. In AE, at least, people go to great length to avoid the words "mental health." They use euphemisms like "wellness" or "behavioral clinic." But I think therapy is clearest and not so silly as those. |

Counselling Service for women Explanation: I see that this is a "niederschwelliges Angebot" für "wenig motivierte Patientinnen" so it must sound as harmless and friendly as possible, while being obviously something professional. Thus I suggest calling it a counselling service. Women's Service and Care Centre are too vague, and calling it a Trauma Unit or a Clinic sounds too medicinal (especially for those who think of trauma=breakage). |
