Services

The safety of a woman and her children is our highest priority. The shelter has a private address and 24/7 security monitoring, among other safety measures.

Each family has a separate, private space where they can rest without fear, in addition to the shared living and dining rooms, kitchen, and play room.

The most important thing is a woman’s safety, even if that means leaving behind the necessities. At the shelter, we provide meals, toiletries, emergency clothing, linens, and personal care items for residents’ convenience and comfort.

Individual, group, and family therapy is available to current and former residents, both adults and children.

A safe place is provided for each child who enters shelter. We discuss physical and emotional safety in relationships, teach coping skills, and provide support to the whole family to build resilience.

Through one-on-one and group meetings, a woman can learn about domestic violence, identify her strengths, and build additional knowledge and skills. We provide parenting support for the special needs of children who have experienced domestic violence.

We work with each resident so she may identify her goals and the steps she would like to take to achieve them. Support doesn’t have to end after she leaves shelter. We remain committed to her, whenever she needs continued support, including referrals to other community agencies.
