Parent-Child Support Services
Our Parent-Child Supportive Services program provides counseling services to families impacted by domestic violence.
Our staff work with children ages newborn to 12 years of age and their parent/caregiver to provide mental health counseling and supportive services. Our services are intended to strengthen the parent-child relationship, improve mental health concerns, reduce emotional and behavioral issues caused by domestic violence, help survivors access additional community resources, and provide psycho-education about the impacts of domestic violence.
Services are free of charge and do not require insurance. Our services are voluntary and are not intended to fulfill court-mandated counseling services. We do not provide custody evaluations, forensic evaluations or expert testimony.
Language interpretation is available to provide services in client’s preferred language.
Những gì gia đình chúng ta đang nói:
“Impact NW helped me realize that I don’t have to be stuck in the past, blaming myself for what my kids have been through. I can be with them now, and we are freeing ourselves from the violence.”
"Tôi thích nói về cảm xúc của mình. Tôi không bao giờ biết rằng."
“My son was very upset about his dad and what happened. He couldn’t talk about it and was acting out at school. Now he knows it’s ok to miss his dad and also be mad at him for what he did. I learned how my own feelings about the abuse affected him. We are very thankful for having Impact NW’s services.”
