Ahimsa | Asian Services In Action

Provides culturally specific and trauma informed services to individuals experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or human trafficking with a focus on the immigrant and refugee communities. Advocacy and legal services are available. Advocates may be able to help with crisis and long-term safety planning, counseling referrals, financial planning, support and referrals to shelter, case management, filing for a Civil Protection Order (CPO) and other services. Attorneys are available when applicable to meet with clients to discuss any legal concerns. If qualified, attorneys can help with a divorce, CPO representation, Marsy's Law, immigration, custody, etc. Program approach is assigning one advocate and one attorney to prevent the survivor from having to relive their trauma over and over again by telling multiple people the same story. Program also offers support groups for different ethnic communities and education/outreach to community members, service providers, and others. Service is not for those in immediate emergencies.
