"Soy Latina"

The Soy Latina Victim Services Program offers comprehensive support for Latina/ Latino clients affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, family violence, dating violence, and stalking. Through a client-centered approach, trained Promotora Specialists serve as advocates, educators, and caseworkers, ensuring clients have access to essential legal, medical, and social services. Promotoras empower clients by informing them of available resources, explaining their legal rights, and helping them make decisions that best meet their needs. From the first meeting, Promotoras stand by the clients’ side, attending any meetings, appointments, or hearings where support is needed.
