The James House Intervention/Prevention Services Inc.

We provide support groups, counseling and resources for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and for sexual violence survivors.  We also work with non-offending partners and family members.

Domestic and sexual violence are community concerns, and it takes a coordinated response to build a violence-free community. We work in close partnership with multiple agencies and service providers to ensure that our clients have access to all available resources needed to keep themselves and their children safe.
We build and develop ideas through collaborative leadership, offering technical and staff support for local taskforces. Taskforce membership offers professionals a forum to address the issues of sexual and domestic violence, network, learn from one another, problem-solve, and develop strategies to improve community response. Membership includes representatives from law enforcement, Social Services, Commonwealth’s Attorneys’ Offices, area universities, hospitals, schools and other concerned individuals.
The James House is committed to spreading awareness about domestic and sexual violence and its impact on not just people who have experienced it, but our community as a whole. We provide fun, interactive and interesting presentations and workshops for law enforcement, civic organizations, houses of worship, schools, businesses and many other types of groups. We tailor our presentations to meet the needs of each group.

Our full-time child/youth educator is Spanish-speaking bilingual and works proactively to address the needs of children impacted by sexual and domestic violence,  Our programs, including Safe Dates, Choose Respect, MAP The Way and REACT are evidence-based and structured to empower children, teens and their care-takers to develop healthy coping skills.  Our mobile activity fun bus allows us to take fun, interactive playtime into low-income neighborhoods, church yards and community events.
