Nonresidential Programs

The agency’s latest expansion has been in the area of non-residential services. While formerly serving only families who had come through the shelters or lived at Brookhaven, Grace Smith House is now able to reach out even further to victims in the community regardless of their prior contact (or lack thereof) with the agency.
 

Child Protective Services (CPS)/Domestic Violence Liaison: This full time staff member screens all new CPS cases for the presence of domestic violence and acts as a liaison between the CPS and DV service providers to identify gaps in service and foster cooperative relationships.
Department of Social Services (DSS)/Domestic Violence Liaison: This full time staff member, also known as the "Family Violence Prevention Case Manager," is positioned to assist victims who apply for public assistance, helping identify options available to ensure their safety, providing basic information on the nature of domestic violence and its effects on children, and informing victims of legal, financial and housing options.
Family Court Advocate: This full time, bilingual (English/Spanish) staff member is positioned at Family Court to assist victims petitioning for an Order of Protection.
Life Skills Trainer/Coordinator: This full time staff member is responsible for the outreach, recruitment, coordination and facilitation of the Life Skills Program (a workshop series for victims of domestic violence).
