Victim Services

We give hope to women and children affected by domestic and sexual violence.

Community Works provides services to women, men and children who are or have been victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Our programs actively work in the community to provide a coordinated response to issues of Domestic Violence. These services include safe shelter for women and children, advocacy, education, referrals and individual support as victims/survivors go through criminal justice or social services systems.

If you are a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault, services and support are available and are confidential. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. To access Victim Services Programs call HelpLine 779-4357 or 1-855-216-2111. We are here to help 24 hours a day every day of the year.
