Abuse
Services
Our
mission...
. . . is to interrupt
and intervene in the cycle of violence in
the community, and
. . . to help both perpetrators and victims gain a sense of empowerment,
safety and control, so that they no longer perpetrate violence on
others or are victimized by others. |
|
The Abuse Services staff has extensive training and experience in
the dynamics of abuse and the trauma involved in victimization. We
also serve the community at large through public education, training,
and consultation to other community providers.
Domestic Abuse Treatment Program:
The Domestic Abuse Treatment Program
offers a comprehensive treatment program for men and women who have
been abusive with family members, or who have been aggressive in
the community with non-family members.
We also provide assessment and individual treatment for those experiencing
mental health problems related to experiences of victimization.
If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse, and you
need information, shelter, legal
advocacy, or a support group, see the other
resources sidebar.
Victim Intervention & Recovery Program:
The Victim Intervention & Recovery
Program staffs a 24-hour telephone line with trained volunteers
who provide crisis care to individuals affected by sexual assault
and abuse. In-person medical and legal advocacy services are also
available for those who have experienced sexual violence.
Child/Family Advocacy Program:
The Child/Family Advocacy Program works
with children and families who have experienced domestic abuse,
providing assessment, education, support and referral. Our goal
is to give children who witness domestic abuse tools to deal with
their experience, and to avoid becoming involved in the cycle of
violence in the future.
