<li>Referrals for Educational Assistance -GED Programs, Trade Schools College Counseling</li>
<li>Referrals for Recovery from Addictions</li>
<li>Abuse and Neglect Counseling</li>

</ul>

<li>We value the rights of      victims to make life decisions based on being fully informed of all their      legal rights and options.</li>
</ul>
