Catherine Cobb Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Shelter is a program of the non-profit organization, Family Counseling & Children's Services in Lenawee County dedicated to ending domestic violence. The guiding principles of the program are based on a strengths-based, solution-focused philosophy, in which clients have voice, ownership and access.
Unhealthy relationships can start early and last a lifetime. Dating violence often starts with teasing and name calling. These behaviors are often thought to be a "normal" part of a relationship. But these behaviors can set the stage for more serious violence like physical assault and rape. Teen dating violence is defined as the physical, sexual, or psychological/emotional violence within a dating relationship, as well as stalking.
How do I get into the shelter? Every survivor is asked to go through a screening process before coming into the shelter. Screenings for the shelter are usually done through the crisis line, occasionally screenings can be done at the Shelter. Please call 1-800-874-5936 or 517-265-6776 if you need shelter.
The agency seeks to inform survivors about our services through a variety of methods including: distribution of materials to key areas in the community, public service announcements, collaboration with law enforcement and hospitals to provide information at the time of a domestic violence or sexual assault incident, collaboration with court personnel to provide information prior to court proceedings, and participation in community awareness events.
