You Are Not Alone

We offer trauma-informed care tailored to each survivor’s journey:

Our Services

Case Management

Every survivor has a different story. We work with each client to understand their story and determine their need for resources such as income, transportation, insurance, housing and medical treatment.

Legal Advocacy

We can help. St. Jude House helps survivors identify their legal rights and options and teaches them how to pursue those choices successfully.

Child Advocacy

Our Child Advocate supports each child through his/her traumatic experiences. The use of art expression, writing and other intentional activities provide children with opportunities to express their feelings and develop healthy coping skills.

Adult Advocacy

Breaking the cycle of domestic violence starts with taking action. St. Jude House and our advocates provide support, assistance and referrals to help adults impacted by domestic violence heal, grow and move forward.

Mobile Advocacy

Safety is our main priority at St. Jude House. Our Community Advocates will meet survivors in a public location of their choosing (park, church, coffee shop, etc.) to discuss what resources and services are available and needed. In addition, they provide emotional support to help survivors talk through their thoughts and emotions so they can make the best decisions for themselves.
