Clients interested in meeting with a domestic violence Advocate are encouraged to first call the Crisis Line. Advocates and survivors work together, pairing the survivor’s own knowledge and goals with the staff member’s knowledge of domestic violence and community resources, to develop an action plan that can help them achieve their goals. During these sessions, Advocates work with survivors to establish a trusting relationship; create, modify or adjust safety plans for survivors and their children; manage acute crisis; access relevant community resources; and more. They offer services free of charge and also include support groups and counseling for teens and children if their parent is in counseling as well.
