Si piensas que tu uso de computadora posiblemente esta siendo monitoriado favor de encontrar un lugar seguro donde puedas navegar la red social, por ejemplo la casa de una amistad confiable o la biblioteca publica. O llama a nuestra linea de Violencia Domestica disponible las 24 horas al NEWS si te encuentras en el Valle de Napa, o a este si te encuentras fuera del Condado de Napa.
Therefore, NEWS services are completely voluntary and require the consent of an individual in order to provide services. This is often the first point of contact for many clients. Anyone is welcome to call us to talk about any experiences or concerns regarding abusive relationships or sexual violence. In cases of domestic violence, they respond directly to the scene of an incident or to a designated safe location to provide support.
For sexual assault, they respond to the hospital to support survivors through forensic medical exams. NEWS ensures seamless communication between volunteers, NEWS staff, and Napa Police Department representatives to maintain a standard of care that is consistent for all domestic violence law enforcement responses.
As well, NEWS is available to help survivors report a domestic violence-related crime if they choose and provide support during extensive historical interviews with law enforcement. DVRT and SART counselors provide immediate emotional support, information, safety planning, and resources to survivors, and work with each client to develop a plan for follow-up services. Crisis Intervention Services Program provides intensive, customized case management during crucial periods of transition. Using trauma informed practices, our advocates work closely with clients to address these issues simultaneously often dedicating entire days to one client to provide safety and stability, while placing a strong emphasis on working toward successful connections to resources that support their recovery and healing.
