Family Services

Mutual Ground Family Services offer counseling, advocacy, and support to children, teens, and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence. Family Services aims to help end the cycle of violence by bolstering the unique strengths of each child, by providing a safe place to process trauma, and by empowering families to heal.

“I was able to color and talk when I wanted to and was not forced to say anything. I just really remember it feeling safe. And my counselor was the first person to tell me that the abuse was not my fault.”

Client, 11

“Counseling has made such a difference for our daughter. We have seen her go from mistructing and closed to happy, open, and communicative. Now she can grow up happy and healthy.”
