Family Violence

The Nuevo Día (“New Day”) program envisions a world in which all people live free of violence, where they feel self-sufficient, have access to community and social supports, and move forward with their families. Nuevo Día holistically addresses all aspects of an individual’s well-being through a continuum of services treating the mind, body, and spirit.

A range of bilingual services is offered to build trust and incorporate strength and resiliency toward healing, overall well-being, and healthy family interactions:

Therapy: Survivors of intimate partner violence, children and adolescents, and men who batter receive support and information in a safe environment in which they can tell their stories and identify their needs, fears, and concerns. Through a strengths-based therapeutic approach, survivors devise a safety plan early on, learn cognitive therapy to build self-confidence and resilience, and work toward concrete goals which they set themselves.

Case Management: Survivors gain access to the spectrum of resources they need to improve their safety and well-being. A case manager helps to link them with a broad range of social services and assists with accessing community resources, securing benefits and services, locating emergency assistance, and working with the police department.

Legal Support: Survivors and their families receive help in accessing legal resources and remedies. A legal advocate physically accompanies participants through many of the critical bureaucratic channels and helps to navigate the complicated court system.

Groups: Educational and psycho-educational groups for children and parents help all members of a family. In educating whole families, our goal is to help children heal and break the generational cycle of violence in their own lives.
