BACKGROUND

 

This project will address the urgent need of assisting domestic violence victims in making a successful transition from emergency housing into permanent housing and will provide evaluations and trauma-focused individual/group therapy to adults and children who are victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault. Supportive services will identify and provide support to victims of DV both in the community and within the DV shelter so that recovery can occur. The grant will also cover the costs of clinical therapists to work with this population. Statistics documented by the Gaston County Sheriff's Office, The Shelter of Gaston County, Court Advocates, and Phoenix Counseling, indicate that over 2000 victims of domestic violence seek help and safety through community resources in Gaston County every year.
