This specialized service is maintained by a team of supportive and well-trained staff who are ready to help you with anything you need. This is often utilized by people in danger or when there is a threat of danger. This service is open to individuals of any age and gender, around the clock. Call toll-free at 1-800-707-5197.
Shelter
For immediate crisis intervention
Emergency shelter services are based upon a belief that victims of domestic and sexual violence have the right to a safe place to live, knowledge advocacy, and ongoing supportive services to help them meet their needs in times of crisis. It is our belief that the cycle of domestic abuse can be broken when victims are given options and opportunities to increase their knowledge and develop a support system. To accomplish this end, we provide a 5 bedroom multifamily shelter, 24-hour crisis line, advocacy, counseling, and supportive services.
Hospital Accompaniment
Here for You
This service is geared towards people who are wanting an exam kit collected. You don’t have to go alone, an advocate can come with you, provide support, and help explain what to expect.
Professional Individual Counseling
You can work through this
If you are in need of professional counseling or therapy, whether you have insurance and means to pay or not, we can refer you for an appointment with one of our counselors.
Transitional Housing
With supportive services
The Transitional Housing Program is based upon the knowledge that many victims return to their abuser because they believe they have no other options. We also recognize employment and household management skills must be developed in a supportive environment to create life-long solutions. The Lodge is a multifamily dwelling where clients live together as they begin a new, safe life and receive the help they need to pursue employment, education, and independent living skills.
