What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Child Abuse Response Effort (CARE)
We are the CARE center for Livingston County where forensic child abuse interviews and investigations are conducted in collaboration with local child welfare, law enforcement, and legal agencies.
Crisis Shelter
LACASA provides a 20-bed shelter for victims of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault. We are the only shelter in Michigan that provides on-site facilities for the family pets of shelter families.
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE)
LACASA has a dedicated examination room where specially trained nurse examiners can perform forensic exams on sexual assault victims in a safe and caring environment.
Safe Pet Shelter
Because pets are often used for retaliation in domestic violence situations, we have a pet shelter for families who are temporarily housed in our shelter.
Counseling Services for Survivors of interpersonal violence
Both group and individual counseling are available for all victims on interpersonal violence: child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault, regardless of when the abuse took place.
Prevention Education
Parenting classes, youth prevention programs, awareness campaigns and events take place throughout the year to educate the community on issues relating to interpersonal violence and its prevention.
