Client Services

Maitri fills a critical gap in the domestic violence services available in the community by being sensitive to the culture of the south asian community and by speaking the languages that South Asian survivors speak. Maitri services are free and confidential.

HELPLINE

Our Helpline is the first point of contact for survivors. We provide culturally responsive crisis intervention, danger assessment, safety planning, immediate assistance with basic needs, peer counseling, and referrals among other essential services.

housing

Maitri Housing program has two broad functions. We house survivors for an extended period of time in a safe environment at the Anjali Transitional House while they transition to an empowered, independent life. We also assist survivors find affordable housing and access the county’s rental assistance programs.

LEGAL ADVOCACY

Through our Legal Advocacy program, we counsel survivors on legal options and issues related to their specific situation. Our legal services include preparing legal documents, information for navigating the legal system, attorney referrals, and court accompaniments.

Economic empowerment

We train survivors to be economically independent and financially secure through one-on-one coaching and workshops. From identifying their career and financial goals to finding a stable job and managing their money, we coach survivors through the entire process of becoming independent. When appropriate we partner with other organizations for coaching/training and job placements.

While our Client Services focuses on immediate and long-term needs of the survivors, our Community Programs reach out to all other stake-holders in an effort to create a violence-free community.

Community Programs

Outreach & Prevention

Besides helping the survivors directly, we bring awareness about domestic violence to the South Asian community by educating them about the services we offer for the survivors. We also do extensive prevention work through community education and collaborative activities and engaging men and boys, youth and elders, and faith-based communities.

Volunteer engagement

Maitri believes that long term, systemic change can happen only though individual volunteers. This is a great opportunity to contribute and make a difference in the life of a person going through family violence.

Policy Advocacy

Maitri engages in bringing about structural and procedural changes within the systems through policy advocacy to serve the needs of survivors better and collaborates with national, state wide and local agencies in this effort.
