Casa de la Familia is dedicated to ensuring the long-lasting mental health success of individuals who have experienced psychological trauma.

Casa Community, a division of Casa de la Familia, is looking for victim advocates for our Domestic Abuse Response Team (DART) Casa de la Familia is partnered with several divisions of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to form DART. This is a unit that partners specially trained officers with certified domestic violence counselors to provide immediate crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and follow-up services to survivors and their families at domestic violence calls.

The program is designed to increase the safety and psychological well-being of victims by assessing and tailoring a plan to meet the immediate needs of survivors.

The DART Victim Advocate also receives referrals from detectives, city agencies, and other service providers to provide follow-up serves which include assistance with restraining orders, civil/criminal advocacy, and mental health resources.
