Adult survivors schedule daily, individual counseling sessions with an assigned case manager, and choose from a range of night classes offered at a time when counseling and activity groups occupy their children. Preschoolers attend a licensed, on-site day care center with bilingual staff. To meet individual needs, Hillsborough County teachers provide additional tutoring. An after-school program is a special help for working parents, as well as for stimulating children's activities for weekends, and school and summer holidays. Child case managers offer a health and behavior screening for all dependent children.
Groups feature violence awareness and violence prevention themes.
Children learn safety planning designed to protect them in the future. Survivors need a wide range of services. Many need assistance to pick-up belongings left behind at their homes. Other families need clothing, shoes, or household items from our thrift store. Funded by Department of Education monies, our vocational-educational counselor works to place shelter adults in job training or employment.
