Immigrants Seeking Safety
Raleigh, NC

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.

Hope for Children: Overcoming the Devastating Effects of Witnessing Family Violence
Raleigh, NC

A strong coalition of community agencies in Raleigh, NC provides specific counseling programs for adult victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. However, after initial crisis intervention, no mental health programs offer ongoing services to children who have witnessed family violence. To minimize the long-term psychological, social, developmental and emotional effects of exposure to violence the local agencies have now created a continuum of age-appropriate services. Case managers will conduct thorough assessments and referrals to programs such as adolescent treatment groups and will facilitate additional outreach to Spanish-speaking children. Another tailored program offers therapeutic visitations to help children spend appropriate time with a parent who is separated by court-issued restraining orders.
