Filing for orders of protection or police reports, preparing for court hearings, looking for referrals in the legal community, etc. can be intimidating and overwhelming. We have support for every step of the way. For more information, please  call 423-303-3522.

All victims who contact the program receive crisis counseling either through the hotline, face to face sessions, or support groups.  Crisis counseling is geared towards assisting clients with safety planning, goal-setting, help navigating the court system, and options that help them work towards a future that is free from abuse.  To set up a counseling appointment, call 423-303-3515 for more information.
