Independence House provides short-term crisis counseling, safety planning, resource assistance and specialized groups for victims/survivors of domestic violence. Appointments are not necessary and there is no waiting list.
Groups are specialized and available for all Independence House clients. Group topics vary periodically and may include content suitable for victims of intimate partner violence, incest and rape. Individuals are encouraged to participate in groups to end isolation and regain strength during transitional times. These groups are a way to learn from others and rebuild self-esteem to achieve long-term goals.
If mental health or substance abuse issues are impacting an individual’s ability to be safe, referrals will be made to supplement services. In any referral, the individual’s decisions are respected.
