Domestic Violence

Domestic violence can affect anyone. New Directions is here to help, offering support like advocacy, housing assistance, crisis intervention, and access to important resources, so survivors can find safety and rebuild their lives.

Sexual Assault 

Healing after sexual assault can feel difficult, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our caring, trauma-informed advocates are here to guide you, offering support to help you start your healing journey with understanding, hope, and care. 

Human Trafficking

Human trafficking takes away people’s freedom and safety. New Directions offers services, advocacy, and resources to help survivors regain their freedom and rebuild their lives.

Shelter and Housing Advocacy

New Directions offers safe housing for adults and children escaping domestic violence. We understand that finding safe and stable housing can be hard, especially in tough times. Our Housing Advocates are here to help you explore your options, provide support, and connect you with shelter and other resources. We are committed to helping you find a place where you can feel safe and secure, and we will be with you every step of the way.

Youth Advocacy

At New Directions, our Youth Advocates are here to support you by empowering your strengths, your rights, and your voice. We listen to you without judgment, offering guidance and understanding. Our goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and confident in making choices for your future.

Legal/Court Advocacy

The legal system can be confusing and hard to understand. Our Legal Advocates are here to help by providing support, information, and guidance. They will educate you about your rights and accompany you to court, making sure you feel safe, informed, and confident throughout the process.

Red Flags/Green Flags

It’s important to know the red flags of abusive relationships and the green flags of healthy ones. Each flag, whether red or green, is equally important to recognize. Understanding these signs helps you know what a respectful, safe relationship looks like and what warning signs to watch out for.

Community Education

New Directions educates our community about domestic and sexual violence, bystander intervention, and how to help in these situations. We provide training and resources to show how everyone can make a positive impact and support those in need.

Parent and Child Education

PACE is New Directions’ Parent and Child Education program, designed to support youth facing multiple challenges. It gives both youth and parents or caregivers a safe space to learn and grow together. The program has two tracks—one for parents or caregivers, and one for youth. In PACE, you’ll learn about healthy relationships, digital respect and safety, and how to avoid risky behaviors. It’s a chance to strengthen your family’s connection and build a better future together.
