Counseling
Our counseling program is staffed by experienced and caring therapists. They work alongside you through individual therapy and therapeutic support groups to guide you along your pathway toward recovery.
Safe Housing

The Live Violence Free Housing Program offers a Confidential Shelter and Housing First Program when your home is no longer safe. This flexible program provides survivors with options allowing you to determine how to best meet your housing needs.

Legal Services

Our legal team are experts in their field and are ready to provide you with legal advice and representation. They are here to assist with protection orders, child custody and visitation, and divorce.

Parenting Program

This program allows parents to choose goals, according to their own beliefs and values, and then select and adapt Positive Parenting Program strategies to help improve their relationship with the child. This program is currently offered in our Alpine County office for parents of children 0 – 12.

Resources

Live Violence Free strives to be a resource for the community. If we don’t have the information you’re looking for, it’s our goal to connect you to the information you need.
