Domestic Violence Crisis ServicesThe mission of our agency is to provide both direct and indirect services to victims of domestic violence in Cherokee, DeKalb, and Marshall County, Alabama. We will accomplish this by providing direct client services that include victim advocacy, case management, counseling, shelter and referrals to area resources. We strive to provide education to the general public, school systems, local area agencies and civic groups about domestic violence and the impact it has on our community. We will provide a coordinated response to domestic violence with law enforcement and the court system. The isolation that is present in domestic violence increases when the victim lives in a rural community, they are often unaware that there are services available to them to help them live safely in their own homes. Thus, awareness of our support to all residents of our tri-county area affected by domestic violence is of utmost importance to our mission.
