Resources for Legal Advocacy

Questions about the difference between a Domestic Violence Protective Order and a Personal Safety Order? This side by side comparison may answer your questions, and our advocates are always on standby to help you navigate the process.

The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia just released this helpful new informational video about the Domestic Violence Protective Order Process in West Virginia.

This brochure from the Supreme Court of Appeals of WV explains the Domestic Violence Protective Order process and answers a lot of frequently asked questions for survivors and their loved ones. Check it out if you're thinking about filing for a DVP, and, remember, we have advocates dedicated to each of our five counties that can talk to you about what court is like in your area.

Branches has been approached by Target to be one of the nonprofits featured as an @circle participant this quarter. That means if you've ever had a Target account or shopped there, you may have votes you can cast waiting in your account. Even if you haven't shopped there in a while, you can follow these steps to see how many votes you have and cast them for Branches Domestic Violence Shelter. At the end of the quarter, we'll be awarded funding based on my how many votes we receive through this process.
