Domestic Violence Services
Crisis Center of West Texas offers:
Emergency Assistance
Survivors are encouraged to call our Hotline (1-866-627-4747) for immediate assistance. Our advocates will discuss safety planning, shelter options, counseling opportunities and available resources, so each survivor can make informed decisions. We offer referrals to other community resources and provide emotional support. Concerned friends and family members are also encouraged to call to have their questions answered and to learn about helpful services for their loved one. Crisis Intervention and Advocacy are available during regular business hours on a walk-in basis, no appointment necessary (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
Hospital Accompaniment
Our dedicated advocates report directly to local hospitals, 24-hours-a-day, to support survivors, share information about resources available to them, provide a shoulder to lean on and advocate on their behalf with medical and law enforcement professionals. Advocates also provide accompaniment to prosecutor’s offices and courts.
Counseling for Domestic Violence Survivors
We provide individual and group counseling and support services for survivors of domestic violence. Community-based counseling and advocacy services are provided for individuals with special needs. Services provided in English and Spanish, and all languages are accommodated.
