Overview

Mission

To protect victims, prevent violence and empower survivors by providing citizens of rutherford county with the resources and assistance necessary to effectively deal with the personal, social and legal implications of victimization by domestic violence and sexual assault.

What it reported doing in 2024

To aid clients in crisis situations needing counseling and general services as victims of domestic violence. Sexual assault advocates provide information and offer assistance and emotional support through medical or legal processes. Counselors provide a healing environment to help people recover from domestic violence and sexual assault. Individual counseling is offered to those victims of recent abuse or assault. Support groups are provided operating on 8-week schedules throughout the year. During the fiscal year 3,553 clients have been served. 2,284 clients served through walk in visits for those seeking service and counseling, including legal services; and 1,269 clients assisted through the crisis hotline through phone calls. We used 25 volunteers who provided 11,701 volunteer hours in providing various services. We hold training and community education presentations available to the general population.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
