Supportive Counseling
   
   
   
   
Although not considered Therapy, Supportive Counseling is provided to help victims discuss feelings relating to the domestic violence and/or sexual assault/abuse and to also help them identify their personal strengths, and redevelop feelings of self-worth.  Secondary victims such as parents, family and spouses may also receive supportive counseling which provides them with an outlet to verbalize their feelings. Education about the cycle of domestic violence and/or sexual assault/abuse is discussed with victims and their children.


Supportive Counseling is offered in a private, comfortable setting.

 
 
Community Impact At A Glance In 2007, 67 families received supportive counseling.
