Emergency Shelter
We provide temporary shelter in a confidential location for domestic violence survivors and their children. If you, or someone you know is experiencing homelessness due to issues with DV, contact our 24-hr hotline at (888) 336-9591.
Support Groups
We offer support groups for survivors and their loved ones. Groups typically consist of an educational piece surrounding a topic and then time for group discussion & support.
Legal Advocacy
We offer legal information and education, referrals for legal representation, and assistance with protection orders. We can accompany survivors to court and assist with navigating the deep and often murky waters of the legal system.
Advocacy-Based Counseling
Cooperative counseling efforts between our clients and agency advocates focus on empowerment through reinforcing the survivor’s own agency, autonomy, and self-determination. We help survivors develop safety plans, clarify issues, identify and remove barriers and increase self-esteem and awareness.

Speakers, training, and workshops on a wide variety of topics are available to businesses, schools, hospitals, and private businesses and agencies. We offer extensive education & prevention programs throughout the county. For more details, contact us through our web form, or call us at (360) 336-9591.
