James House is an accredited nonprofit organization helping people affected by sexual violence, domestic violence, and stalking. The James House staff, Mrs. Jane Clayboure has volunteered at Riverside Regional Jail for 13 years. In those years of service, Mrs. Jane Clayborne facilitated sexual and domestic violence support groups and counseling. She is a very professional and takes pride in helping those she serves. She was always willing to assist where she was needed.
They truly know what they are doing at James House. They are always willing to help clients that are in need and they are very knowledgeable in regards to sexual violence, domestic violence, and stalking.
Where does one begin. James House provides a myriad of services for those in need. Their food and cloth pantry has assisted several domestic and sexual violence victim with the basic necessities as they begin to regain a since of normalcy once they find the bravery to leave their abusers. They host many community enrichment and involvement activities throughout the year to raise awareness and not stigma to domestic and sexual violence. But more than anything, the staff at James House treat individuals like they matter. They treat them like human beings and that is priceless. I’m grateful that places like Jame House exists because their services are invaluable.
I volunteer for the James house and it’s a wonderful experience! The energy there is amazing. Everyone communicating and understanding each other. I have learned many valuable lessons and not to take the little things for granted.
This organization provides excellent services to a very underserved area. They work with the Commonwealth Attorney's office in providing resources and services. The staff is extremely dedicated and knowledgeable and work diligently to convey the messages about the problems related to domestic violence and emotional abuse.
