Crisis Telephone Line
Trained staff provides crisis intervention, referrals and information 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for domestic violence victims.
Community Counseling Services
Support groups, led by counselors and former domestic violence survivors help domestic violence victims through discussion, encouragement and education.
Community Education and Awareness of Domestic Violence
Training is offered to victim service providers, volunteers and the community on domestic violence issues, Sistercare and its services. Volunteers educate civic, religious and professional groups to raise awareness about domestic violence.
Legal Advocacy for Domestic Violence Survivors
Domestic violence survivors are informed about the legal process, available options and their rights. Legal advocates help them obtain professional legal services, accompany them to court and advocate for protections through the judicial system.
Childrens Counseling
Support services, therapeutic play and recreational activities are provided for children from violent homes to help them address the trauma of family violence.

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Community education and awareness to break the cycle of family violence.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Offers additional services needed to victims of family violence and a broader outreach program.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
A well-established stable program, with a proven record of successfully serving battered women is an essential part of Sistercare's program. Sistercare has sheltered more than 18,000 domestic violence survivors since October 1981. Sistercare has serviced more than 120,000 survivors of domestic violence in the past 34 years.
