therapy: dap serves each member of the family, helping women and children to heal from the effects of abuse and to develop and use a plan for their future safety .

Dap offers both individual and group therapy services for youth who have experienced or witnessed domestic violence in their homes. Dap also works with adolescents who have witnessed abuse in their homes and have begun to use violence to family members or in their dating relationships. Dap served over 600 clients during the year.
