Mission: Our purpose is to empower those who experience violence and also to end the oppression and violence. We provide crisis intervention, advocacy and support, safety planning, emergency housing resources, agency and community support groups.
Programs: Advocacy program: 24/7 hotline for victims of domestic and/or sexual violence, family and friends, and other service providers. Program provides crisis intervention and de-escalation, information and referral, emergency shelter assistance, and transportation for victims from danger to safety. During the current year we added three new advocates to our advocacy program and now offer services to survivors accessing mental health services, survivors who are incarcerated, and lgbtqi survivors. We increased the number of crisis line calls we answer by 6% and have shorter wait times for callers by 7%. In addition, we held three basic advocacy trainings to welcome new volunteer advocates to our organization.
outreach program: engage community members through on-going training and activities regarding domestic and sexual violence as well as the services we offer to the community.
