Therapeutic and Support Services

The Center for Safety & Change hotline is answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Our professional staff and trained volunteers provide crisis intervention, safety planning, emotional support, community linkages and general information about services offered through the Center.

In addition to our hotline, advocates are available during walk-in hours to provide the same services we offer on our hotline in person. Advocates can also provide accompaniment to DSS, CPS, court, probation, schools and police departments. Our goal is to help clients navigate these systems to best meet their needs. Advocates can also connect clients with more intensive long-term therapeutic support through our support and empowerment groups and counseling programs.

Support and empowerment groups are committed to creating a space for survivors to process emotions, learn about the normal responses to trauma, share their stories, support one another and create a community. Our specially trained counselors will work with clients individually to process trauma and find a path to healing.
