• Counseling and advocacy
• Support groups
• Workshops
• Court accompaniment

In addition to HFC’s Domestic Violence counseling component, the Domestic Violence program is able to fill a gap that is witnessed daily in our client population: providing legal advocacy in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner while supporting victims through the turmoil of their legal proceedings by way of a Legal Advocate. The Legal advocate assist victims in gaining access to lawyers with specializations in matters concerning restraining orders, child custody (family court), as well as applying for U and T visas (immigration).
