Eve’s Place provides services to any victim of domestic violence, sexual assault and teen dating abuse within southern La Paz county and its surrounding areas, including Riverside County, California. Many rural residents face commutes of more than an hour to access most victim service programs, nearest hospital, or other essential services. Victims in these communities have to travel a minimum of an hour to shelter as the shelter cannot transport victims to their location. Victims who do not want/need shelter or are not ready to leave their abusive partner need safe and confidential options to reach out for service, which have not existed in this area in the past. Victims are not always aware of resources in the community and may not be knowledge of their rights. They need safe and somewhat anonymous avenues in which to reach out and receive assistance that fits their needs.
In order to provide assistance with some of these barriers, Eve’s Place operates the only dedicated Mobile Advocacy Program in Quartzsite and the surrounding area from our local office. Services are free to self-identified victims and include, but are not limited to safety planning, support groups, individual advocacy, accompaniment to court, assistance with court documents/hearings and transportation. In an effort to refrain from duplicating services and enhancing existing services, our advocates communicate with other area programs to provide support services as needed. By providing mobile services, victims in this rural area have access to not only more services within their community, but also services outside of the area when needed. Our advocates will travel to the victims and meet them in a safe location of their choice.
If you or someone you know may need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us to get more information or request services.
