In 2000, CAWC established the
Humboldt Park Outreach Program (HPOP), a comprehensive domestic
violence services program located in Humboldt Park. Bilingual and
bicultural staff are sensitive to the issues many victims bring and
provide crisis intervention, safety planning, referrals and legal
advocacy. In addition to the range of services available at HPOP,
children who are negatively impacted by the trauma of experiencing
domestic violence can receive specialized therapeutic services
on-site from a Family Trauma Therapist. Mothers can also receive
parenting education and support.
HPOP staff also provide domestic
violence services and education throughout the Humboldt Park area. Participants of SER, a job readiness, training and
placement program located in Humboldt Park receive domestic violence education and services
on-site and at CAWC. CAWC also works with local IDHS offices to
provide services to women who site domestic violence as a barrier to
employment. Staff train IDHS employees to identify and refer
victims of domestic violence. By working with SER and IDHS, HPOP is
able to reach more victims of domestic abuse with critical services
in a setting that is safe and
convenient. |
