This service is an extension
of Kootenay Haven programming. The staff assists program participants
with goal setting, life skills, and advocacy. Information and accompaniment
to court or other appointments is provided.
The Women's Outreach and
Support program provides individual transitional support services to
women who are, or are at-risk of becoming, victims of various forms
of abuse. Additionally, the program assesses the safety of the
clients and their children and supports clients in reducing safety risks.
The services are intended to reduce the impact of victimization and
trauma resulting from exposure to domestic violence and utilizing therapeutic
support techniques in group and self skill workshops.
