Domestic violence can have severe effects on the victim and his family. The victim of violence can develop emotional problems, usually anxiety or depression, trouble sleeping or nightmares, and even feelings of guilt, frustration, and anger. Casa de la Familia is dedicated to helping these victims, as well as their families. Our team works closely with the community and other mental health professionals to ensure that victims of domestic violence have access to available services.
