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. Service delivery is enhanced by a corps of approximately
30 volunteers specifically trained to work with domestic violence and
sexual assault victims.
