ADV provides individual and support group counseling and advocacy to children ages 5 and older who are impacted by domestic violence. The ADV Children’s Program offers goal-oriented paraprofessional counseling to help children identify and process their feelings, build self-esteem and develop healthy relationships with peers and adults. For a child to receive services, the (victim) parent must also participate in ADV services.
