What We Do

CRISIS INTERVENTION

CORA is here for you with trauma-informed and immediate support 24-hours a day and 7 days per week. Call CORA’s 24-Hour Hotline or stop by our office.

SAFE HOUSING

Housing should not be a barrier to leaving an unsafe situation. As a survivor, you or your family can receive immediate, short-term residential support if you are in danger.

MENTAL HEALTH

If you have experienced domestic violence or intimate partner abuse, CORA offers individual, family, and group counseling to help you and your children heal.

LGBTQ+ SUPPORT

CORA provides a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ+ survivors of intimate partner violence and abuse. We offer inclusive therapy, support, safe housing, and connections to trusted LGBTQ+ resources.

LEGAL SERVICES

The legal system can be intimidating for those experiencing intimate partner abuse. Our legal staff can offer legal information, referrals, brief advice, and representation on common legal matters related to intimate partner violence. CORA’s Legal Department aims to increase survivor’s understanding of their legal rights and ability to pursue justice.

PREVENTION & EDUCATION

To break the cycle of domestic violence and intimate partner abuse, CORA offers multiple programs dedicated to educating our community about safe and healthy relationships, how to seek help, how to assist others, and ways to build a strong family foundation to prevent domestic violence and abuse from occurring.

Help us end intimate partner abuse
and bring hope to life.
