Victim Advocacy
The Victim Advocate provides on-going contact with victims of crime and their families, acting as a liaison between the criminal justice system and other agencies and the victim. HAVEN provides individual and family counseling, as well as emergency food, clothing, housing and other services as needed. We provide ON-SCENE CRISIS RESPONSE 24 hours per day. Trained Advocates will go on scene, to the hospital or meet at the Center to assist all victims and their families throughout the process.
Crisis Counseling
Immediate Crisis Counseling and follow up therapeutic sessions are available as well as a 24 hour crisis hotline. All staff is trained and certified and all Therapists are State Licensed. Support Groups are available also
Community Education
While we respond to crimes after they occur, we wanted to begin services to hopefully prevent these types of crimes. HAVEN Center also houses the Mohave County Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAP) which is a volunteer council that provides community education and awareness programs helping to combat the spread of child abuse. This includes Community Education where we conduct training in the schools, daycares and nursing homes to teach professionals how to identify and report child and elder abuse. We conduct Mandated Reporter Trainings to the schools, daycares and other agencies. It is important that professionals know how to respond to cases of abuse.
We provide Community Trainings on topic such as: Domestic Violence Awareness, Sexual Assault Awareness, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and the Protective Factors, Resilience in Families, Domestic Violence and Children among many others. We also host events during April for Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month and October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
