Immigrants Seeking Safety
Description:
A new influx of Latino and South Asian immigrants to North Carolina and a high incidence of intimate partner violence prompted nine organizations to collaborate in creating a comprehensive, culturally appropriate crisis intervention model. They will provide culturally specific intake, assessments, safety planning, crisis counseling, case management and educational opportunities for mothers and children. Several organizations are co-located in a new building with the area's key violence intervention and prevention agency including health services, legal aid, the police department domestic violence unit, child abuse prevention and KIRAN, a group serving the South Asian community.
