The Department of Survivor Services stands ready to address the critical needs of immigrant survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

Survivor Services' clients may require assistance with immigration relief, mental health counseling, medical bills, food stamps, temporary or long-term shelter, divorce or child custody. The Survivor Services team is ready to meet their needs. The department attorneys meet with clients confidentially to review their legal rights and discuss options for immigration relief. Department case managers provide holistic social support and can make referrals to external social services.

The Department of Survivor Services also conducts outreach and education to local communities, service providers and law enforcement agencies to raise awareness of the occurrence of domestic violence and trafficking in persons. These efforts result in an increase in identification of victims as more individuals know where to seek help and service providers, agencies and community members understand how to offer assistance.

Survivor Services Department Mission:
To strive to empower victims to become survivors…to rise above the adversity they have faced, claim their rights and rebuild their lives.
