Victims and survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual abuse, and elder abuse almost always bear emotional scars as a result of the abuse. CHANA’s trauma-informed counselors help clients understand the dynamics of abuse, discuss the variety of feelings clients may be experiencing, and create individualized and ongoing safety plans. Victims meet with advocates who listen and offer helpful tools and skills on ways to manage the difficult emotions, heal from trauma, connect to community resources, and move forward with life safely.
