Family Advocacy is a program designed to assist families
experiencing the trauma of abuse. Counselors are trained in the dynamics of
abuse in order to assist in protecting victims, as well as seeking ways to
support families in need of assistance. There are many negative consequences
that affect families experiencing abuse. Support resources include information
on spouse and child abuse, victim advocacy, counseling for individuals, couples
and children, as well as support groups for men and women. These services are
provided, free of charge, for those seeking help. Additionally, classes on
stress management, anger management, child and teen parenting, financial
management and building self-esteem, are offered to educate individuals in
dealing with stressful situations.
