Domestic Violence Intervention
Is there something frightening going on in your home? Do you feel as though you are causing someone else’s anger?
Domestic abuse occurs in over 20% of families in our community. If you “walk on eggshells,” are afraid of what may happen next, or if you or members of your family are being criticized, threatened, or intimidated, we can help.
At JFS, our goal is to empower individuals to create safety in their interpersonal relationships. We offer counseling, education and Safe Place Shelter, in partnership with National Council of Jewish Women, a private respite for one family at a time in which to plan for the future.
We provide:
- Crisis intervention
- Individual, family and group counseling
- Safe Place shelter
- Transition planning
- Information and referral
- Access to legal and medical support
- Community education programs
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911.
If you feel you or someone you know needs help or if shelter is needed, contact us at 248.592.2335. This line is confidential and is answered during normal business hours of 8:30 – 4:30 pm. After hours, please contact HAVEN’s 24 hour crisis line: 248.334.1274.
