Crisis and goal oriented professional counseling: SWC offers confidential counseling by licensed professional counselors. A sliding scale fee is used, allowing clients to pay what they are able to according to their financial situation. Clients must first complete an intake interview with an advocate, at which time the fee will be assessed. The minimum of $25.00 per session will be charged for each counseling session. Support and counseling groups such as Domestic Violence, Adult Survivors of Incest, Sexual Assault Survivors, and Women in Transition: SWC holds periodic support groups for survivors with various issues. These groups are formed as the need arises - when enough clients have requested a group, one is formed and begins meeting. Call SWC if you are interested in participating in a group. Specialized support, advocacy and counseling for child and adult victims of sexual assault/abuse: SWC advocates and counselors work with clients to explain the options available to them and help them determine the course of their recovery. Legal, criminal justice, medical and social services advocacy: SWC advocates are available to accompany clients to the police department, hospital, court hearings, or meetings with attorneys and provide support in these situations. Emergency Protective Order (FPO) preparation counseling: SWC advocates work with clients to explain the procedure for seeking a FPO, what options are available in the FPO, and what the client can expect in the court hearing. Children's groups: Children's support and counseling groups are held at the shelter when in demand. |
