FACT: One in three women and one in four men are victims of domestic violence by an intimate partner at some point during their lives.
Domestic violence (DV) comes in many forms– physical, emotional, and psychological– with some more visible than others. Here at HECC, we believe in the strength of survivors.
HECC’s domestic violence program provides a safe space for survivors to receive support services to free themselves from abuse, regain confidence, build relationship skills, and find healing.
HECC PROVIDES:
- Case management
- Counseling
- Court Advocacy
The program also serves children of DV survivors in the program. Families participate in education and support groups and receive individualized services according to their needs.
