Working in conjunction with local law enforcement, I can provide immediate support and information for victims at the scene of domestic violence and sexual assault, and ensure that they have the opportunity to make safe choices.

Support groups offer an opportunity to break out of isolation, talk with others who have been in similar circumstances, and meet women and men who have overcome the violence in their lives.  During Group, a Parents as Teachers representative interacts with children, providing them an opportunity to be with other children who are in similar circumstances.
