Community Partnership Services
Catapult Outreach advocacy program provides comprehensive holistic wrap-around services using multi-disciplinary teams including emergency shelter, counseling, housing, education and training, legal services, and partnerships with community organizations to ensure access to support services (i.e., food, health care, transportation).
We are currently serving victims of domestic violence. In particular, we organized to serve people experiencing an on-going pattern of coercion, intimidation, and emotional abuse, reinforced by the use and threat of physical and/or sexual violence.
The primary goal of advocacy is to increase safety for victims of domestic violence. We do this by listening closely to individuals and connecting them with the information, resources, and support they may need to make their own informed decisions.
Advocacy involves working with a victims of domestic violence to identify their individual needs as they strive to live a life free from abuse. Then developing a course of action to meet those needs. This can range from supportive listening and evaluating risks to providing assistance when a victim’s abuser has been arrested and/or assistance in filing a restraining order when needed.
Advocacy also involves working to make the legal and social systems effective, fair and accessible to victims of domestic violence.
All advocacy services are free and confidential.
