The staff of DASI believes in the strength of survivors and begins by helping them to believe in themselves. Many survivors are unaware that they have shown strength and courage in coping with their situations, in protecting their children, or by simply staying alive. Survivors can only make informed decisions about their lives when they feel safe, when they are aware of their options and when they know they are not alone.
DASI staff can assist with physical, emotional and psychological injuries, and help with safety planning, housing and financial emergencies. Services such as a 24-hour helpline, emergency shelter, counseling, support groups, advocacy, court preparation, medical and legal accompaniment, children’s services, transportation, transitional housing apartments, food and clothing are available to help individuals and families to heal and to rebuild their lives.
DASI is committed to ending interpersonal violence, and has an extensive prevention and education program which provides speakers and trainers for schools, professionals, groups and organizations. And for those who would like to “give back”, our volunteer program provides a variety of opportunities for helping families in need and in crisis.
