addressing all of the needs of victims and survivors
Services we provide
LI Against Domestic Violence works with survivors to thoroughly explore all options and services available to them while keeping safety as our priority; not all options/services are appropriate, safe or, what a survivor feels is best for them. We respect our clients’ decision-making and support them on whatever path they choose to embark upon in the timeframe in which they feel comfortable.
