Synopsis of DVCC

The staff at the Domestic Violence Crisis Center is dedicated to the task of helping you and your children find ways to live your lives in peace, without the threat of violence, intimidation or abuse. We are 40 individuals with years of experience and expertise in the field of domestic violence; we are counselors, educators and attorneys; we advocate for you in the court system and medical community; we offer SafeHouses where victims and their children can be safe while making more permanent plans; we partner with an organization that can find temporary foster care for your pet while you are in the SafeHouse. PeaceWorks provides over 30 programs to educate young people about healthy relationships, and our Training Advocacy Project offers trainings and workshops on domestic violence throughout the adult community. Many of us speak Spanish, and we also can help if you speak another language or live with disabilities. We invite you to call us or come in and see how we can help if you think you may be in an abusive relationship. All our services are confidential and without charge. They include:

  • 24 Hour Hotline
  • SafeHouses
  • Court and Legal Services
  • Counseling Services
  • Children’s Services
  • Housing Advocacy
  • Medical Advocacy
  • PeaceWorks Prevention Education Programs
  • Adult Trainings and Workshops
