Counseling, Domestic Abuse Support available at Capital Area Family Violence Intervention Center

We recognize the need for support and services regardless
of where a woman lives. Outreach offices have been
established in Ascension parish (Gonzales), Pointe Coupee
Parish (New Roads), the Feliciana Parishes (Clinton), and
in Iberville Parish (Plaquemine). Counselor/Advocates
and community organizers provide telephone, face-to-face
counseling and support groups to battered women; provide
information and referral to other community resources;
assist battered women in accessing our shelter services;
provide advocacy on behalf of the battered woman and her
children; conduct community education; and provide court
advocacy and support services.

Agency coordinated and facilitated Coordinating Community
Response Teams have developed networks in each community to
assure a collaborative response by law enforcement, the
judicial system, the health care system, and the general
service system.

In addition, battered women from our outreach parishes have
access to our statewide toll free crisis line so that women
can call, 24 hours a day, at no charge, for assistance with
transportation, advocacy, shelter or referrals to other
resources.

Our agency serves the following seven core parishes:
Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, West Feliciana,
East Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, West Baton Rouge.

Our agency provides some services in collaboration with
other domestic violence programs to the following parishes:
