• LEGAL ADVOCACY:
  We offer a Victim Advocate service free of charge to victims and their families as they go through the legal process of obtaining a safe environment for themselves.
  This service is does NOT provide legal advice, but instead provides the presence of an individual who acts as support/advocate for the victim as they attend hearings, interface with law enforcement, file legal papers, etc.
