Program

Family Intervention Project is a collaborative program through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) that allows KHDS, Women's and Children's Horizons, and Legal Action of Wisconsin (LAW) to work together to provide service and referrals to families dealing with domestic violence. Our inter-agency, collaborative approach to working with victims of domestic abuse by an intimate partner provides a strong safety support network to create the space for individuals to heal and connect with long-term services to break the cycle of abuse.
