YWCA-SGV uses an individualized approach in order to meet the needs of our clients. DV and Senior Case Managers identify, plan, and facilitate access to resources. Staff therapists provide trauma-informed counseling for adults, children and families in order to address the impacts of abuse and violence. YWCA-SGV employs supportive legal advocates who prepare survivors for court appearances, accompany them physically and emotionally, and process restraining orders. YWCA-SGV works closely with Victim/Witness, Safe At Home programs and additional legal resources.
