As a result of the extensive efforts to curb the incidence of domestic violence, private and non-profit resources are available to victims in nearly every community. Your assignment is to identify a private or non-profit domestic violence advocacy center and provide a detailed report on their services. Once you have identified an agency, you must also interview an employee from that agency in an effort to gain as much insight into their services as possible. Some questions to consider asking include: • Identify all services that are provided. • Do they provide referrals to other entities for services that they do not provide? • What are their most commonly provided services? • Is there a fee structure associated with their services? • What are their funding sources?

• Are staff members paid or volunteer status? • Describe the organizational structure of the agency. • Do their services extend to the children, families and acquaintances of the victims? • Are resources available 24/7 and do they include shelter and protection when needed? • Do they interact with law enforcement and if so, in what capacity? • What are their confidentiality policies? • Do they provide long-term, extended services beyond case disposition? These are just a few areas to consider for your interview, but they are in no way the only questions and topics of discussion for your inquiry. The bottom line is to provide a thorough and comprehensive summary of the agency. After you have completed your appraisal of their operations, provide a conclusion regarding your view of the effectiveness of their services. What additional recommendations would you make to improve their operations? http://www.cpedv.org/ I have picked an agency in the state of California.
