We aim to make this program the <br /> responsibility of Washington County and the surrounding area. We have done this through speaking to <br /> community groups, churches, professional groups and through PSA's in the newspapers and on the radio. We <br /> have emphasized that it is each person's responsibility to make this a safe place to live for women and children <br /> and to speak out against domestic violence. <br /> PROGRAM INFORMATION <br /> A) BATTERED WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S SERVICES <br /> The 24 -hour Crisis Line is staffed by two volunteer advocates: one to answer the phone and one on -call. <br /> Information and Referr l The volunteer provides callers with information and referrals to available <br /> services. Our volunteers have a list of available community resources and are able to make appropriate <br /> referrals to callers. <br /> Family Violence Safe Homes offer 3 -5 day emergency housing for battered women and their children. <br />
