Advocates attended the National DV Conference this month. We learned so much and had a little fun as well.

Stats for March:
35 new clients, 109 contacts
29 ppo filed
4 sexual assault call outs
attended 22 hearings or sentencings
Attended 8 meetings and one fundraiser for UCS!
We also have 15 men attending DV Offender classes, 7 men and 2 women attending anger management, and 26 individuals attending MRT.

Warm weather leads to higher rates of domestic violence. Stay safe and know we are here if you need us.
