KCSC provides crisis intervention over the phone or at appointment-based in-person meetings in the office. Victim service coordinators help survivors assess the danger they are in and work with them to develop a safety plan. Victim service coordinators also conduct a needs assessment, address the survivors’ immediate needs, and provide ongoing comprehensive case management.
KCSC 2019 data shows that 64% of our domestic violence clients were unemployed when they first came to KCSC for services. Financial difficulties are among the top reasons that victims remain trapped in abusive relationships. Every year, KCSC receives generous donations from the community through the Sharing Love Campaign. KCSC uses these funds to assist clients with expenses such as rent, transportation, grocery, and utility payments. KCSC also supports their independent financial planning to help with long-term financial stability.
KCSC supports the pursuit of victims’ safety, empowerment, and welfare by establishing a support plan according to the individual situation of each victim.
KCSC provides support services in one place for a victim’s convenience by working in conjunction with other KCSC programs.
These include:
KCSC’s Transitional Housing Program provides shelter and support services to survivors of Domestic Violence and their dependent children, preventing homelessness and ensuring safe and affordable housing options within the community. Depending on eligibility requirements and each survivor’s individual circumstances, the victim service coordinator will determine and adjust the length of stay and types of support that are needed.
KCSC’s Transitional Housing Program honors each clients’ process of healing and the timeline for support greatly depends on each survivor’s situation and goals. KCSC’s victim service coordinators support victims with ongoing case management and help them to find permanent homes.
KCSC provides trauma-informed supportive counseling for emotional stabilization and recovery. Certain individuals receiving services may have experienced trauma or are still experiencing trauma in their lives. This may particularly be the case for survivors of domestic violence. Trauma-informed care is a treatment framework that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of traumas. Trauma-informed care also emphasizes physical, psychological and emotional safety for clients and helps survivors rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.
In hopes of the increased awareness of domestic violence in the Asian community, the KCSC Victim Services team provides free community workshops for the community members in Korean, Chinese, and English. The participants should expect to gain basic knowledge of domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual violence issues in the Asian community. In addition, the participants will learn about the available resources in the community. For any workshop requests, please email Program Director Pyo Wook Han (phan@kcscgw.org).
