Counseling Services
The Counseling Program provides both individual and group counseling services,
free of charge, to women and children victimized by domestic violence. Clients need
not be a resident of the shelter to access counseling services.
Counselors are trained to address issues of domestic violence and guide victims
through a personal service plan, which allows each client to set her own goals.
Counseling services are also available for children and adolescents who have
witnessed or experienced domestic and/or dating violence.
