There was supposed to be an advocate with me at my hearing for a domestic violence protection order and I ended up attending it alone. Hopefully this agency is useful to someone else.

Some of the most kind and caring people. I'm so glad I got in touch with these ladies.

Anymore I just can't handle mean, lying hurtful people. I am so used to being beat down I let myself get tortured. Thanks to women helping women I retained some faith in women empowering other women instead of gossiping and starting rumors.

A woman showed up to my home this morning after a domestic dispute, and was absolutely no help. wearing her pajamas and shower cap and an attitude, like she just was upset to even be here in general. This is so heartbreaking to see people like her who's actions showed clearly that she did not care. this is the worst agency. uneducated young people without a care in the world about peoples and families lives. I will seek further action. if you need help do not call this agency they do not care and the way they dress and attitude will show that.

I contacted the agency for advocate support after my ex had already been arrested because my landlord had served me a notice to vacate the premises (it's illegal to evict someone because of domestic violence or crime committed against them). When I explained the situation the first response was if I wanted referral to a shelter... Which makes no sense in the situation as I wasn't trying to escape a situation and I was still occupying the house. What I wanted was someone to mediate with my landlord so they wouldn't file an eviction and I could stay in my home. It took about a half hour of stupid before I was referred to the fair housing board who was perfectly efficient and helpful. I felt like the person I talked to didn't listen at all to what was going on or lacked any sense of what an appropriate way to handle the situation was. From past experience I know that the kind of service I got today would have been very disheartening and difficult if I was younger, less comfortable speaking up and diaagreeing and/or having trouble processing things as a result of trauma and emotional upset like I imagine most of those they serve are and that is disappointing to me.
