We offer two 24-hour hotlines, operating 365 days a year that have knowledgeable advocates providing crisis intervention, information and referrals, hospital accompaniment, and intake for the shelter and counseling programs. The hospital accompaniment program dispatches an advocate to the hospital to provide emotional support and advocacy. Counseling & Advocacy Services provides counseling to adults and child witness/survivors of domestic violence and survivors of sexual violence in individual or group sessions. Supportive counseling helps survivors overcome trauma and understand the violence inflicted upon them.They gain a sense of safety, tools to cope and the knowledge that they are not alone. Housing Services assists clients in achieving housing stability through rental/utility assistance and case management. To encourage success in our own scattered-site transitional housing program, our client advocate provides case management and assists survivors with filing victims' compensation claims, accessing social services and legal advocacy. Children's Court Services provides education, support and witnesses preparation to children who are victims/witnesses to physical or sexual abuse, kidnapping, child pornography, domestic violence and other crimes. The court advocate prepares and educates the family and child and provides court accompaniment. As the child's family is not able to be in the courtroom when the child testifies, our court advocate stays with the child as they face their perpetrator and testify. Research has shown that courtroom accompaniment reduces the trauma of child victims/witnesses when they participate in the criminal justice system. Community Based Counseling provides counselling services in under-served communities. We have targeted outreach efforts for African American, Hispanic, and disable survivors of domestic and/or sexual violence.
