Empowerment Philosophy of Advocacy:

1.

Domestic and sexual violence are rooted in systemic oppression.

2.

We believe everyone possesses the ability to foster healthy relationships. We value everyone’s right to self-determination regardless of their age, gender, race, color, national origin, immigration status, religion, ability, familial or marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or source of income.

3.

We offer advocacy, education, and support for our community members to live lives free from violence. We practice confidentiality, utilize trauma informed care, and strive to treat everyone with respect and dignity.
