Staff are available by appointment only. Please call (920) 849-7819 to schedule an appointment.
Addressing the Unique Needs of Rural Communities
Living in a rural community presents unique challenges for those experiencing domestic or sexual violence. Limited access to services and transportation can make it harder to reach out for help, and the close-knit nature of smaller communities can make it difficult to maintain your privacy. The Calumet County Rural Outreach Program addresses these barriers with focused support aimed at reducing isolation and strengthening connections โ not just to our programs and services, but to friends, family, and other local resources.
Advocacy & Support Services
Everyoneโs experience is unique, and finding the right support can make a real difference. Our advocates are here to listen without judgment, help you understand your options, and work with you to find services that meet your needs. Whether youโre focused on staying safe, navigating the legal system, looking for community, or you want to process your experience one on one, weโre here to walk alongside youโoffering resources, information, and support to help you move forward with confidence.ย
Safety Planning
Safety planning involves meeting with an advocate to create a personalized safety plan that addresses your specific needs, including strategies for staying safe before, during, and after leaving your abuser.
One-on-One Advocacy
In our one-on-one advocacy sessions, you'll learn about the different types of abuse, develop strategies for coping with trauma, and receive referrals to support groups, legal advocacy, and other resources.
Support Groups
Support groups allow you to share your story, connect with others, and learn new ways to cope with trauma. We offer general support groups as well as specialized options tailored to specific populations.
Legal Advocacy
Available to shelter residents and outside clients, our legal advocacy service provides assistance with restraining orders, criminal cases, divorce, custody and child support, immigration issues, and more.
Interpreter Service
If English isnโt your native language, we offer interpreter assistance in Spanish, Hmong, and moreโso you can communicate clearly, access resources comfortably, and feel supported every step of the way.
