Violence affects people of all ages - this is why Bolton Refuge House, Inc strives to meet the unique needs of each family served. Through our Youth and Family Advocacy Program, advocates are able to provide one-to-ones, mentoring, and support groups for youth who have been affected by domestic violence. Both adults and youth are able to participate in dog therapy in individual or group settings.

 

Partnerships with area schools help ensure that the educational needs of children are not interrupted due to domestic violence and also provides opportunities to educate youth in a classroom setting about domestic violence and the aspects of a healthy relationship.

 

The Youth and Family Advocacy Program supports and educates all victims of violence within a family in order to stop the cycle of violence and to foster healing along the way.
