Family Services invites you to participate in Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April. Together, we can educate others about sexual violence and support local survivors here in Tulare County.
This 10th annual event raises critical funds for our emergency domestic violence shelter, Karen's House: Visalia's dedicated emergency shelter for victims and their children. We opened the shelter 40 years ago to empower survivors to end the cycle of violence and restore safety in their lives.
During their stay, residents can receive:
• 24/7 crisis support
• A safe bedroom to rest every night
• a trained advocate to provide guidance through their unique situation
• Enrichment activities for children and educational assistance
• Individual counseling and support groups
These are just a few of the services offered at Karen's House, and the people who benefit from them are the reason behind this purple-themed event.
