Self-determination is a key component to breaking the cycle of domestic violence.
Being in an abusive relationship can be traumatizing and life altering. When you are unsure where to turn, Domestic Violence Services (DVS) at Catholic Charities offers shelter and safety. We provide life-saving help for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking by an intimate partner.
We value a survivor’s freedom to choose, learn, and grow and provide an environment that promotes respect and confidence, while empowering survivors to advocate for themselves and their families.
24/7 CRISIS HOTLINE - 402.558.5700
Domestic violence advocates are available by phone 24 hours a day to answer questions, discuss options, and provide support including crisis intervention and safety planning. Advocates are available to survivors, their friends and family, service providers, and the general community.
THE SHELTER
Sheltering services for survivors and their children provide a secure, temporary place to stay along with care and support as they regain control to make decisions about their future.
Our Shelter offers a confidential, home-like atmosphere providing refuge and professional services for families.
AFTER SHELTER SUPPORT
Both during and after a survivor’s stay, our community reintegration advocates provide resources and referrals for economic empowerment such as employment and housing needs. We continue to support survivors to live safely in pursuing their dreams without fear.
SURVIVOR SUPPORT
For individuals who have experienced rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, physical and mental abuse, and stalking by an intimate partner, our advocates empower survivors as they develop an individualized plan for themselves and their children. The plan addresses practical concerns, as well as emotional barriers. Based on the plan, survivors are provided with resources and referrals to appropriate community support and programs to match their needs.
