Relationships can have an impact on your mental health. It is important for you to know the signs of what your body is telling you, and to get support when needed!

We offer survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking the ability to receive that help when they are in a place that it is comfortable for them.
If you or someone you know is in need of a safe place to go call our hotline 409-832-8882 nor 800-621-8882. If safe housing is not needed, then call one of our non-residential advocates today at 409-833-2668, extension 111 or 118!

Tomorrow, May 28, we’re talking about one of the hardest caregiving decisions a family can face.

About 70% of adults turning 65 today will need some form of long-term care, yet many caregivers are forced to make that decision with too little guidance and too much at stake.

If you are trying to understand if home is no longer the safest option, or how to choose a facility without second-guessing every step, this webinar is for you.

Join Jeff Aidikoff of Bedsore.Law on May 28 at 2 p.m. ET for Choosing the Right Long-Term Care Facility for Your Loved One.
