Our outreach and training programs raise awareness, share information, and train judges, police officers, attorneys, social service providers, law students, and the public about domestic violence and elder abuse. We build coalitions with other community organizations, share resources and information, and provide referrals to shelters, social service agencies, and care providers. Our vision: ensuring a just and safe environment for victims and survivors of domestic violence and elder abuse.
Each year, we serve thousands of victims and survivors of domestic violence and elder abuse who can’t afford the legal help they need. We train hundreds of professionals and we educate our community on issues of interpersonal abuse. We fight hard for our clients’ legal rights. We can help obtain orders of protection and provide legal services related to divorce, custody, support, financial exploitation, public benefits, housing, and other matters.
