WISH Program:
For Individuals Affected By Domestic Violence or Child Abuse
Emotional, physical, and sexual abuse can chip away at one's spirit and leave life long wounds. Healing can begin when the person being abused no longer feels alone in their pain and can access the help of others. YES Community Counseling Center understands that a trusting therapeutic relationship is the first step towards hope and healing. Staff is extensively trained in working with those who have been abused.
Women In Shared Healing (WISH) seeks to provide comprehensive services for community members including women, men, and children who have been physically, sexually, and /or emotionally abused, as well as those effected by or witness to domestic violence. This program aims to empower those who have been abused to access internal strengths and external resources necessary to reach one's potential.
Services include:
- Individual Counseling
- Family Counseling
- Case Management
- Advocacy and Referrals
Services provided are individualized, based on the unique needs and circumstances of the person in need. Additional agency programs are available to those who have been abused as well as family members; these may include substance abuse treatment, parenting skill groups, and leisure time activities.
