Individual Counseling and Support Groups

Our counseling services provide emotional support and empathetic listening for victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Counseling is short term (usually up to 6 months), and is free of charge, along with all other services.

Individual counseling may include:

• Emphasis is placed on giving the victim accurate information about domestic violence or sexual assault, and supporting the victim in decisions that are made.
• Identify needs and provide options.
• Establish a support system.

Support groups are offered to both domestic violence and sexual assault victims.

• Groups are offered for both teen and adult victims of sexual assault.
• Groups are offered for family and friends of sexual assault victims.
