Mission: Center of Hope is a refuge of peaceful existence providing innovative and compassionate direct advocacy, therapeutic counseling, residential, and legal services to victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. As a leading resource for system change, Center of Hope’s goal is to provide meaningful and effective support while addressing the attitudes and behaviors which allow violence to continue in our community. Our comprehensive program ensures that the needs of the victims we serve are met in a holistic and compassionate manner by equipping and empowering them with the skills they need to move beyond the trauma and onto the fulfilling lives they deserve.
Results: We have expanded our therapeutic counseling program. We have 2 contract theraptists on site and one is trained to use EMDR which is a highly effective and specialized type of counseling which helps victims process trauma. In 2013 we began providing pro bono legal services through a collaborative grant with our local Legal Aid office.
