Emergency Shelter

More than Just a Roof Over Their Head

Where does the child rescued from an abusive home, the teen running away from violence or the victim desperate to escape their abuser turn? In our community, the answer is often Synergy Services. If you or someone you know is unsafe at home, we can help.

Domestic Violence Center

Shelter is the primary need for our domestic violence clients and we have a proud tradition of high-quality services at our Domestic Violence Center. Residents receive food, personal care products, access to public transportation and assistance with legal matters and life skills. Additionally, survivors in shelter begin their emotional healing through individual and group counseling. They also benefit from recreational opportunities, parent education and peer support.

A team approach to treatment provides each client with a dedicated case manager, therapist and advocate. This increases the expertise available and provides a higher level of service coordination. Through weekly meetings, the treatment team evaluates a family’s evolving needs and plans individualized treatment and care.

The Jennifer & Jamie Children’s Center

The Jennifer & Jamie Children’s Center includes an emergency shelter which provides a safe, therapeutic environment for children from birth to age 17. Children typically stay 30 days, or until a more permanent placement is available. Counseling and referrals for other needed services are provided for the children and their families.

Children who are in the state’s custody may come into the program through the Children’s Division. Parents/guardians may also bring their children into the program through Crisis Care. This may include but is not limited to homelessness, domestic violence, incarceration, or unexpected hospitalization.
