Programs described in its return (1)
- $903,573 spent. We provide direct services to victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, child and elder abuse. Our shelter can house victims and their children. We have a hotline that runs 24 hours a day and 365 days a year which is answered by trained volunteers and staff. An advocate responds to the hospital if someone presents as a victim/survivor and assists them with restraining/stalking orders, attending hearings, attending criminal trials, and attending civil hearings related to divorce, child custody and parenting plans. Advocates also provide support to victims and their families at the Merrimack County Advocacy Center and police departments. Advocates run support groups for victims and provide/coordinate education for victims on life skills including healthy relationships, financial management and nutrition. Advocates work with victims that have mental health and/or substance abuse issues and connect them with counselors, physicians and licensed drug and alcohol counselors. Many of the victims that advocates work with are not financially independent. Continued on Sch.O Continued As a result, advocates work with victims and provide them with resources that offer educational programs, job skills and employment opportunities. Along with the services above, advocates work with victims to find permanent housing once they are financially stable. We provide community outreach and education. Educators go to schools, businesses and community events to teach the public about domestic and sexual violence, stalking, child and elder abuse. They explain what healthy relationships and boundaries are and what the red flags are for abusers. All volunteers and staff receive training to ensure all services provided are culturally competent and trauma-informed.
