our services
Every situation is different — and so is every path to safety and healing.
Whether someone is facing a crisis, making a plan, or looking to learn and connect, we’re here to help. Our advocates work alongside each person to understand what’s happening and find the right kind of support.
Below are examples of the services we offer. Some people use one, others use several — and sometimes, we work together to come up with a completely different plan that better fits their needs. Whatever the path looks like, we’ll be there to help make it happen.
