Counseling and Support Services

Counseling

After someone has experienced trauma like domestic violence, it might be hard for them to feel safe again. Counseling can help people feel safe and stable in their lives after experiencing trauma. 

For some people, they may feel more comfortable working one-on-one with a counselor.  For others, they may feel more comfortable in a group of other people who have had similar experiences.

Counseling services are available for children, adults, and families. If someone is already working with an advocate, the advocate can make a referral to a program that would be most appropriate for their situation.

Advocacy and Support

It can be hard to figure out where to start looking for help.  Advocates can help people connect to resources and supportive services.  They can be found in shelters, police stations, courthouses, and community organizations.
