Program/Service Notes:
Voices Against Violence has three units, the Domestic Violence Unit, the Rape Crisis Unit, and the WIN Haven Battered Women's Shelter. All program staff participate in providing 24-hour emergency hotline services, crisis intervention, and safety planning.
-Domestic Violence Unit: The Domestic Violence counselors provide individual counseling, crisis intervention, safety planning, assist clients with locating appropriate support services such as housing, welfare, legal advocacy, and facilitate support groups. The Victim Advocacy Program provides services to victims in conjunction with the Framingham Police Department. In addition, The Bilingual (Portuguese) Counselor-Advocate provides victim advocacy in the Marlborough Probate Court on Thursdays as part of the Lawyer for the Day Program.
-Rape Crisis Unit: The Rape Crisis Unit offers individual counseling, support groups, and legal and medical accompaniment and advocacy to victims of sexual assault. The Community Educator for the Rape Crisis Unit is responsible for organizing special projects for the program, as well as outreach and education about rape prevention, the effects of sexual assault, and the needs of rape victims.
-Shelter Program: Safe home for up to five families. It is the only battered women's shelter in the Area and is one of the few handicapped accessible shelters in the State of Massachusetts. Women and their children can stay in the shelter for up to 90 days. We provide case management, counseling, advocacy, and a children's program for the residents.
