Our mission is the safety of Victims, who are usually women and children; however, an increasing number of men are coming forward as Victims of abuse and violence. We treat all Victims with dignity and respect, regardless of their gender. While we honor the abuse or prior trauma that Victims have endured, we simultaneously teach and empower them with coping skills, nonviolent conflict management techniques, and identification of red flags in relationships. We refer clients to mental health facilities and addiction centers when needed to provide concurrent treatment. If inpatient treatment is needed, we put clients in a medical hold status, and they resume group attendance after treatment.
With DCFS clients, our goal is to promote permanency by maintaining, strengthening, and safeguarding the functioning of families to
