Victims Services: Catholic Charities staff are trained to respond to trauma and use these skills as they interact with families who live with and are impacted by domestic violence. Our staff/therapists provide services including counseling to survivors of any age and their families along with linkage to specialized services in our offices across the 8 counties of WNY.

Domestic Violence Program for Men: Available to the Courts or agent of the Courts when holding adult male offenders accountable for their acts of domestic violence against an intimate female partner. Court-ordered participation in the program requires weekly attendance. Professional, trained staff present information about men`s violence against women in our society such as the historical, societal and cultural aspects of domestic abuse, oppression and sexism, and how to end it. This program helps participants realize the changes they need to make to improve their relationships and interact respectfully with their partners.
