Domestic Violence Aftercare Program
The Domestic Violence Aftercare Program is a valuable source of support for victims and witnesses of domestic violence and their families, assisting them with the transition to a new community. Victims of domestic violence who are approved for an emergency transfer receive the support of trained social workers, who provide psychosocial assistance and concrete services to help victims break free from the cycle of violence and adjust to life in a new community. Domestic violence victims approved for transfers and who accept these services are referred to the Human Resources Administration (HRA), which runs the Aftercare Program and is where they receive counseling, case-management, safety planning, and assistance with daycare and after-school programs. Domestic Violence Intervention, Education and Prevention Program (DVIEP) case managers work with clients to identify their most urgent needs and provide information and services, safety planning, and referrals to other agencies for a broad range of comprehensive and supportive services. In addition, DVIEP provides Emergency Transfer assessments, community awareness presentations, and police sensitivity training. Residents may call or walk in for services.
