R.V.A.A.P.
Charity Gorman
Why Does This Organization Exist?
Domestic Violence-Violent/aggressive behavior within the homes, and typically between spouses or partners
247 people out of 10 000 are usually involved in some for of domestic abuse. Some of those people have children. These people can't stay where they are, its not safe for them. Both women AND men are abused, and they all need somewhere to go and get help. Stop this stereotype. That's why the R.V.A.A.P. (Relationship Violence Alternative Assistance Program) was created.
What De We Offer?
Here we offer not only a temporary place to stay, but we also provide free workshops that teach some things that may be beneficial to getting back out on your own. *not mandatory but highly recommended* such as:
- Separate temporary living quarters for men and women
- workshops on various topics
- Support groups
- And many more!
It's Not Only Women
Men are also victims of domestic violence. Many of the male victims don't report abuse because they think its embarrassing they think it makes them less of a man to be abused by a partner.
Its Not Just Partners
Children who witness domestic violence often grow up to either be an abuser or to be a victim. They are also at risk for
