Hello supporters and Merry Christmas!
Thank you so very much for your continued support of Aspen! As our Therapy Dog program is 100% community supported, your generous donations go directly to provide this service to all our clients of sexual violence.
At Fair Haven Rape Crisis Center, we provide 24/7/365 services to survivors of sexual violence. We respond to all 10 hospital/ER's within our community and provide ongoing support at no charge to our clients. One of our services is judicial advocacy. This is where a victim advocate attends police intervies, forensic interviews and court appearances with surivors. In addition, we also work with survivors to prepare them for courp depositions.
As you can imagine, going to court can be stressful. For our young clients who have to talk about their expereinces in court, it can be particularly difficult! Aspen visits with our clients before, during and after their appointments to help them mitigate feelings and normalize the judical process. Aspen presses herself into a client by leaning into them to help with grounding and affection. After a long session, this is exactly what our two sister clients needed!
As 2020 quickly approaches, we wish you a very Happy New Year!
