The Social Work Division
provides services to 150 families yearly,
who are survivors of domestic violence.
These clients are referred by a variety of
agencies including the Domestic Violence
Courts, Family Courts, DCF, shelters and
homeless populations. The program provides
both individual and group services. Fees for
services include Medicaid and private
insurance programs. All other clients are
free. Other service areas include
parent/child problems and marital discord.
The training program provides training for
15 students, yearly, from two schools of
social work. They are trained in serving the
domestic violence population, consisting of
women and children survivors of domestic
violence. The students also receive training
in working with one of several HIV
populations. Further training consists of
participation in evaluating the mother/child
dyad of young children (birth to 5) from the
domestic violence population. Women
survivors over 50 are included in the
service population.
