DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES

CAA has provided domestic violence services to CalWORKs recipients since 2004.

Services and activities provide:

  • Case management.
  • Domestic violence education.
  • Advocacy and Court document support.
  • Individual and Family Counseling.
  • Support group and group Counseling.
  • Parenting education.
  • Household establishment.
  • Independent living skills.
  • Referrals to appropriate services and resources in the
    community.
CAA also provides treatment classes, lasting 52 weeks, to help batterers learn to effectively channel their anger, and handle conflict by using coping mechanisms.
​
If you have been receiving CalWORKs for 60 months (5yrs) your time will come to an end. A part of your cash aid will be cut but the Food Stamps and Medi-Cal aid will not stop. The time limit does not count if you are receiving or are in need of Domestic Violence Supportive Services.


In addition to your cash aid benefits you will also receive transportation and child care from the GAIN program to participate in Domestic Violence services.
What is abuse?

​General speaking abuse is any behavior that results in the mistreatment of another. There are five major kinds of abuse: physical, emotional, sexual, social, and spiritual.

Signs of Domestic Violence

If one of the following acts has happened to you, you may be a victim of domestic violence:
  • You are frightened by your partner's temper.
  • You have been kicked, hit, shoved or threatened by your partner.
  • You are controlled and manipulated in your everyday decisions.
  • You are ashamed or embarrassed to discuss your problems with relatives, neighbors, or friends.
  • You are not allowed to drive or go places, including attending school or keeping a job.
  • Your partner makes you feel guilty or yells at you if you go against what he wants you to do.
  • Your partner controls all of your finances.
  • Your partner makes you perform sex acts against your will by using force.

Domestic violence has both short and long term effects on children. Witnessing the violence not only scars the child emotionally, but also leads to violent behavior. They may become direct or indirect victims:
  • Your children may be battered themselves.
  • Your children may grow up in an insecure environment filled with tension and violence.
​
This program is funded by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services.
