Collectively, these services are known as Domestic Violence Supportive Services (DVSS). Case Management services are provided to domestic violence (DV) survivors (also known as participants). Case Management services include confidential support services, safety planning, and advocacy. DV survivors are provided with advocacy/referral services to help with obtaining the appropriate community resources (financial assistance, emotional stability, and educational benefits). The goal of case management services is to empower survivors to make decisions that are the safest for them and their children and help the survivors overcome barriers related to domestic violence and become self-sufficient. Case management also includes an assessment to determine if domestic violence prevents the recipient from complying with any of the CalWORKs Welfare to Work (WtW) requirements.
