Youth Advocacy Programs
Turning Pointe provides advocacy services for youth and families who have been directly or indirectly impacted by domestic or sexual violence. This includes young people who are in unhealthy or abusive relationships or who are survivors of sexual assault. This also includes anyone in a survivor’s family or support network who has been indirectly impacted by the abuse, such as a child who witnessed domestic violence in the home or a teen who is acting as a support friend for a peer as they navigate an unhealthy relationship.
Our advocacy services include crisis intervention, safety planning, education advocacy, legal advocacy, and referrals for mental health support and other basic resources. We have a bilingual youth advocate on site at the Shelton office.
Group programming utilizes a trauma-informed approach to provide youth with a responsive healing and learning environment where they can grow alongside their peers. See our programs below for current offerings.
