Programs Providing Services to Battered Women. Third Edition

摘要

This State - by - State directory of programs for battered women consists of materials collected between July 1979 and January 1980. The programs are listed alphabetically, first by State, then by city or town. The listings vary according to the amount of information available, but, in general, each contains the name and postal address of the shelter or program, a phone (and, in some cases, a crisis phone), the name of a contact person, and lists of special services offered. These special services often include legal assistance, counseling, referral, community education, some child care, liaison with the police, and peer support groups for long - term counseling. Many of the centers in the Southwest have bilingual services. Where available, information is given on funding. Most receive support from private or community fund organizations. CETA, church groups, the YMCA, and governmental bodies may also supply some funding. The listings are intended for professionals in the social services and other persons attempting to aid battered women.
