OUR SERVICES
Decreased Stress = Decreased Violence
We found that there are many stress factors that increase the risk for violence. Stress factors include
reduced access to resources, financial problems & disconnection from social support systems. We hope to
reduce violence by addressing as many needs as we can; decreasing stress = decreasing violence.
Our advocates provide guidance, emotional support, and paralegal assistance to victims.
​
Our three clothing and supply locations offer free, donation-based clothing and supplies.
​
We have safe, private and secure shelter rooms as well as extended emergency shelter options.
