Who is Eligible for Free Counseling?

Families, individuals, and couples living and/or working in the state of Maryland who:

are uninsured, underinsured, have limited resources

Ms. R is a 41 year old self-employed beautician.

She requested help to leave her abusive husband for the second time, to find the motivation to get to work and to care for her children. She was having difficulty sleeping and experiencing panic attacks at work.

The Victims of Violence program linked Ms. R with a clinical social worker and within three months, she reported that she had left her husband and her relationship with her children had improved.

“It’s a miracle. I couldn’t do this on my own and where would I be? I am very thankful”.
