Recognizing the diverse backgrounds and experiences of clients, case management includes providing cultural and trauma-informed groups. designed to honor and incorporate the values, beliefs, traditions, and practices of our clients. This approach helps in building trust and rapport between case managers and clients. These groups and events offer safe spaces for clients to explore and address their experiences in a supportive, therapeutic and culturally sensitive environment.

This advocacy is crucial in helping survivors navigate the aftermath of trauma and begin to heal.
For victims of crime, intensive case management offers a higher level of support.
