Domestic Violence Program
Our Domestic Violence Program provides safe space, and survivor-centered advocacy for survivors to access the resources that they need in order to keep them and their families safe. Our holistic program implements culturally-appropriate services that meet the physical and emotional needs for survivors. In addition, our program approach is based on the strength/empowerment model of advocacy where the survivor’s expertise regarding her life is listened to and honored. These services are designed to facilitate safety and self-sufficiency through self-determination for survivors. We are here to listen and support you in any way that we can. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
