California does not leave victims alone to cope and rebuild their lives once a verdict is reached against their abuser. The state offers a network of resources that extend beyond legal aid. There are a number of shelters available for anyone who is left homeless, with many that are tailored to victims of domestic violence. State-funded counseling services can combat some of the mental health challenges a victim would typically experience trying to return to a normal life. There are also various educational, childcare, and job-training programs to help. Before wrapping up with your attorney after the case, ask them to point you in the direction of any of these relevant resources.
