24 Hour Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Hotline : 806-669-1788 | 1-800-658-2796
Welcome to Tralee Crisis Center. This is a safe, temporary residence for victims of family violence and sexual assault/abuse. During your stay at the shelter, staff persons will be here 24 hours a day. All of us are willing to talk with you about your situation, feelings, and plans. We will also assist you in making changes in your life if it is your wish.
Your maximum length of stay is determined on an individual basis and will be reviewed periodically, but is typically two weeks to 30 days.
Soon after you arrive at the shelter you will need to consider some basic options regarding your future plans:
Our staff will counsel with you to help you make choices and will assist in putting these choices into action.
Soon after you arrive at the shelter, a staff person from the center will work out a Service Plan with you, which will show the kinds of services you need – legal, medical, financial, etc. – as well as seeing that you get these services. Also, if clothing is needed for you and/or your family, staff will advise you of the availability of clothing through the shelter’s clothing rooms or through a Resale Store voucher.
Your Service Plan will also include self-sufficiency skill training, individual and group counseling, and some recreational activities. It is part of Tralee Crisis Center’s mission to empower you to self-sufficiency regardless of the choice you make for your future.
The Service Plan will be part of your record folder. The staff person will keep in close contact with you throughout your stay at the shelter and make sure you get the services that you need.
