Individual & Group Advocacy

At the YWCA Interim House, every resident receives individualized support from a dedicated Case Management team committed to safety, empowerment, and long-term stability. Our services are rooted in trauma-informed care, helping survivors rebuild confidence, secure resources, and create pathways toward independence after intimate partner violence.

Case Managers partner with each resident to develop personalized plans that honor their goals, lived experiences, and unique needs. Support begins the moment a survivor enters shelter and continues with compassionate follow-up as they transition into the community.
