Advocacy and Resource Connection
Advocacy forms the backbone of the work that we do to support survivors and end the violence in their lives. Survivors work with our advocates to create safety plans and advocate for their needs. This can include orders of protection, child support, adjustment of immigration status, emergency shelter and a range of legal, medical and social services. Advocates act as guides and companions as they help survivors navigate complicated legal processes and social service systems. Click on the terms that are underlined to learn more.
Therapy and Support Groups
Survivors can participate in therapy and support groups that reinforce their mental health and social-emotional development. Click on the links below to learn more about our groups.
Financial Assistance and Essential Items
In order to be able to respond comprehensively to the difficulties that survivors are facing, we store donations of PPE, hygiene, cleaning and baby supplies. We also have financial assistance available so that survivors can address emergencies, such as the need to pay for a hotel in order to have a safe place to spend the night.
Our advocates do not discriminate, and they understand that domestic violence affects individuals across all races, ethnicities, nationalities and social strata. They are particularly knowledgeable about how to support domestic violence survivors who are not citizens.
