VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PROGRAM

PROGRAM MISSION: To decrease violence in families and the community's vulnerability to sexual assault, and reduce psychological trauma associated with violence.

The program provides 24-hour crisis intervention, supportive and therapeutic individual and group counseling for victims, psycho-educational groups for persons who are physically and/or emotionally violent in their relationships (Batterers' Intervention Program), client advocacy, supportive services, information and referral, and prevention education to the community. A corps of approximately 30 volunteers specifically trained to work with domestic violence and sexual assault victims enhances service delivery.
