PARENTING CLASSES

This page is intended for CPI and CPS caseworkers whose cases fall within the intersection of domestic violence and child abuse and neglect. We look forward to collaborating with you to make our community a safer place. Below is information about resources available to CPS-involved clients and the impact that it can have on their life and their child's/children's lives. If you have any questions or need a consultation prior to making a referral, contact Andrea Rathmell at arathmell@saferpathfvs.org or 830-569-2001 X 204

TIPS BEFORE YOU MAKE A REFERRAL

  • If you have immediate safety concerns for your client, please contact the Safer Path Hotline at 830-569-2001. Victims we serve: Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Human Trafficking, Stalking, Teen Dating Violence
  • Please note, when providing SPFVS with a "safe number" that means you have spoken with this client and have verified that it is a safe number and it is safe to leave a voicemail with a SPFVS employee identifying themselves and our agency.  
  • Inform the client ahead of time that SPFVS will call them from a blocked/unknown number and will leave a voicemail with our contact information.
  • Anyone referred to ADVANCE should have a partner referred to BIPP
