We also have an illegal advocacy that provides protection orders to people that want to stay in their homes, but need protection to keep an abuser away from them. And, so, as we provide these services, we rely a lot on different community entities and businesses to help make things easier for these victims. We have a very close relationship with law enforcement, the medical community, the substance abuse recovery community; with GED classes and those involved with literacy, and jobs. We have a close partnership with a local industry that helps by hiring some of our ladies. So, we work with a lot of the community to provide for these victims,” said Nancy Bryan, Executive Director, Ruth’s Cottage & The Patticake House.
