HDRR provides support for victims in the community and in the shelter. An advocate can offer information about protection orders, services available in the community, and court procedures. The advocate can attend court with victims and works with the Victim’s Witness program at the Commonwealth Attorney’s office when needed.
Community Education
HDRR has speakers who can attend churches, community groups, and other activities to speak about intimate partner/domestic violence and sexual violence as well as the services we offer.
We also provide activities in the community to educate and increase the awareness of citizens about the problems of intimate partner/domestic violence and sexual assault.
Our Mission & Approach
To provide support to intimate partner/domestic violence and sexual violence victims, and promote the end of such violence in Danville and Pittsylvania County.
