The Valencia Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence is an agency dedicated to helping clients
to grow and heal through support and by empowering them with choices.
OUR SERVICES CAN HELP YOU
|
 |
SHELTER: Safety and support, including accommodations, food and clothing for victims of domestic violence
and their children. Safety issues, legal advocacy, and work issues are addressed.
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM: Our transitional housing has five units available for women and children
who have completed a successful shelter stay and who are staff recommended. The rent is based upon HUD's pro-rated guidelines
and encourages women to work toward creating a life free of violence. With counseling, parenting skills, and legal referrals,
a client receives encouragement to complete her GED or attend the local branch of UNM for an associate's degree and to get
life-sustaining employment. The transitional program empowers a family to become self-sufficient without a dependency on familial
abuse.
NON-RESIDENTIAL COUNSELING: Addresses issues of domestic violence and the family: anger management,
improved communication skills, and expectations of/from spouses; keeping the family intact.
CHILD WITNESS PROGRAM:
Provides emotional support and healing for young witnesses of domestic violence through "play" therapy in a safe and supportive
environment.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH & EDUCATION: Provides education to many community sectors and to the schools of our
community, offering intervention and options to potential victims before situations become crisis. We are available to speak
to your group. Volunteer for work, school credit, or play (Volunteer support activities). You are always welcome. Join us!
