WHAT WE DO
For over 12 years our passion has been to assist Latino women and their children who have been victims of domestic violence and child abuse by helping them to heal and rebuild their lives. ¡Sí, Puedo! (Yes, I Can!) provides holistic advocacy, therapy and a psychoeducational domestic violence victim’s support group for women. The subgroup, Paz para los Niños (Peace for the Children), includes a therapeutic playgroup and child-play therapy for children who have been exposed to or are victims of in-home violence.WHY WE’RE GREAT!
