Family Violence Prevention Program

In 1984, the Women's Crisis Center was founded for victims of domestic violence in the Victoria area.  That small program has grown and expanded, and today is known as the Family Violence Prevention Program of Mid-Coast Family Services.  Our specially trained and dedicated staff provide 24-hour hotline counseling and crisis intervention as well as emergency shelter services for victims of family violence and their children.  Other services include:

  • One-on-one counseling at both peer and professional levels
  • Accompaniment and advocacy for court appointments, appointments within the legal system, and to law enforcement agencies
  • Information and referral for protective orders and for divorce or custody issues
  • Assistance to clients in obtaining other needed services
  • Emergency clothing for adults and children
  • Household items for families leaving the emergency shelter
  • Battering Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP), "Relationships of Promise", a class for family violence offenders which holds them accountable fortheir abusive behavior and teaches them how to ensure future nonviolence
  • Community educational presentations by trained staff to local agencies, businesses, churches, and other organizations
