had on their lives, their strengths and challenges, and our
culture’s response to this issue. Call for more information
about currently scheduled education groups.

We give children the opportunity to talk about their feelings
in a safe and fun environment in groups and when they are in

and provide information about other shelter and housing options.

provide training, consultation, and education sessions about
domestic abuse for schools, employers,
