You will deliver immediate crisis intervention and safety planning for our clients, advocating for victims of domestic violence while providing support and information about available options. Your role is to educate and empower, supporting clients' decision-making without dictating their choices.

You will develop professional relationships with clients, monitor their progress towards goals, facilitate support groups, and ensure their ongoing physical and emotional well-being.
