Therapists and Counselors Who Specialize in Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse is a harrowing experience that leaves lasting scars, both physically and emotionally. Whether you are a victim, a friend or family member seeking to support a loved one,…
Protective court orders are used in an attempt to reduce harm to those who are at risk of physical abuse and stalking. Although it is a “court order”, in reality, law enforcement can only be reactive when a protective order violation occurs. In many cases, victims believe they were beaten in retaliation to having obtained protection orders against their offender. A call to local law enforcement for help and protection is dependent on how long it takes before help can arrive. It only takes a second for a catastrophic occurrence to take place. Statistics support this is an all too often occurrence. Creative solutions for protection against physical abuse and stalking are needed. DVAP is proactive in nature and can prevent the results of a violated protective order.
I want to give DVAP a huge thanks for protecting my children and I. Jeff watched over us during two separate court appearances, He also went to McDonald to watch over the visit with the father of my kids and stayed in the area to protect us. Thank you so much Jeff. We appreciate your services.

DVAP is an amazing organization that was there for me when I needed help. An FJC Advocate helped me and walked me through the process of getting a restraining order and thankfully my restraining order was granted, She introduced me to a the DVAP Executive Director, and he went above and beyond to help me with the process of serving the other party, thanks to his persistence and hard work. He was able to serve the other party two times I cannot describe how grateful I am to the Family Justice Center and DVAP. They made sure my restraining order was served, and they filed the proof of service. Thank you both so much for your help.

As a victims rights advocate as well as a victim of threats of violence, I can honestly say from personal experience, these men and women are the real deal. PLEASE DON’T TRY to go through it alone. These people mean what they say. HELP can be just a phone call away.
Your generosity helps victims and their families by providing a new and unique solution when going to a shelter or other re-locating alternatives are either impractical or cost-prohibitive.
