Working Against Violence for Everyone, AK
Working Against Violence for Everyone (WAVE) exists to support and provide advocacy for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and promote relationships without abuse in the greater Petersburg community. We believe that violence is an unacceptable way to deal with problems and that people have the right to be free from violence in their homes. We believe there should be a place where anyone, regardless of sex, age, race, or sexual orientation, can go to be safe and explore their options.
WAVE proposes to expand its services to include Child and Family Services. WAVE’s primary partner on this project will be WISH, who will build WAVE’s capacity and supplement the emerging WAVE program by providing stopgap services to Petersburg as well as other outlying communities in WISH’s service delivery area. This partnership will expand existing counseling, parenting education, family advocacy, and victim services to non-abusing parents/caregivers and their children in Southern Southeast Alaska to include Petersburg, Alaska.
