Hubbard House works to accomplish three main objectives; the first is safety for victims and their children. In everything we do, safety comes first. The second is we work to empower victims. Through individual and group counseling, we help them develop life management skills as they learn about the dynamics of domestic violence, so they will have the skills they need to be safe on an ongoing basis. We help them find their strength and their voice. It is such a powerful thing to see a victim regain their personal strength. The third is social change through education and advocacy. In addition to our extensive community education and prevention efforts, Hubbard House staff and volunteers serve on numerous committees and task forces to work to change the systemic and community response to domestic violence. We also help study each homicide to see if there were things that could have been done to prevent future homicides.
