We offer a culturally-sensitive, Spanish-language program to help victims of abuse. It provides individual advocacy-based counseling and a support group for victims of abuse in the areas of domestic violence, sexual assault, physical assault, hate crimes, bullying, teen dating violence, child abuse and human trafficking. Some of the services provided at this time include a support group for women who have been victims of abuse, interpretation and translation in accessing community resources, referrals to shelter and legal services when needed, especially those needing to apply for immigrant visas, and assistance with applications for Victims of Crime Compensation and education about their rights as victims of crime. For additional programs and services offered, go to https://centromulticultural.org/social-services.
