A few words about
What We Do
Our Services and programs
We provide safety, education and a network of support to empower women and children
Support Groups
We run peer support groups for migrant women affected by abusive relationships
We provide a variety of free and confidential supportive direct services for anyone experiencing domestic violence. One does not need to leave an abusive relationship in order to receive help from us.
Emergency shelters
We provide emergency accommodations for women and children who are not safe in their own homes or fleeing abuse
The shelter offers a range of services to provide immediate safety, meet the needs of the survivors and to help them gain independence. The services include up to 6 months of shelter, case management, safety planning, individual counseling, support groups, advocacy, food, clothing, crisis intervention, referral, and emergency relocation funds (as available).
Educational classes
We teach parenting classes in the migrant communities, focusing on positive discipline
We offer parenting classes on positive discipline in order that parents have alternatives to violence when correcting children. We also teach classes on safe touch and unsafe touch as well as domestic violence/gender-based violence class.
If you are interested in making an impact in the lives of women and children, consider becoming an ambassador for FRP. We could not do what we do without the help of each individual on our team.
