Independence House provides short-term crisis counseling, safety planning and resource assistance to victims/survivors of domestic violence. Appointments are not necessary and there is no waiting list.
Through our philosophy of empowerment and self-help Independence House counselors work with clients to help them make informed decisions. Ultimately we believe clients know what is best for themselves and their family.
If mental health or substance abuse issues are impacting an individuals ability to be safe, referrals will be made to augment services. In any referral, the individuals decisions are respected.
