Community Partners

Collaboration is at the core of Catapult Outreach’s mission to support families impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse through education, research, advocacy, trauma-informed care, and psychoeducational support. By working with a diverse network of organizations, agencies, and professionals, we ensure survivors receive the critical resources, referrals, and care needed to rebuild their lives with dignity and stability.

Our partnerships include both formal Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and vital referral relationships that allow us to share resources and expertise. These collaborations create a robust safety net for survivors, offering:

  • Immediate Assistance: Crisis intervention, emergency housing, and advocacy services.
  • Long-Term Solutions: Counseling, legal aid, transitional housing, and support groups.

Together, we strengthen community resources and foster an integrated, trauma-informed network that empowers survivors to navigate their healing journey and reclaim their futures.
