How the FVC can Help You
How can we help you?
The Family Violence Center offers many different ways to help you help yourself.
- There is a 24-hour hotline (417-864-SAFE or 1-800-831-6863) with advocates to talk over your situation with you. They help assess the situation and talk with you on what options are available and what might be the best way for you to leave or the best way for you to stay in the relationship. Safety is our main focus.
- Our advocates can review Safety Planning which helps you with specific things to do. For example, items to take with you (licenses, birth certificates etc.), people who might be an undiscovered source of help, and how you can get where you need to go.
- Volunteer court advocates are in the Circuit Clerk's Office at the Greene County Courthouse to assist those filing for orders of protection. Court advocate volunteers might be able to attend the hearings with you if you file for an order of protection.
- We also offer shelter services for those who need a place to go when they leave the relationship.
For more information you can call our hotline at 417-864-SAFE or 1-800-831-6863.
