Victim Resources
Please remember, if you are being assaulted and need immediate
assistance, dial 911. Law enforcement is trained not only to arrest
your abuser, but also to help you access resources in your area.
Domestic violence programs are full-service agencies offering a range
of services in emergency shelters or transitional living programs, as
well as in the community. You may access their services without
residing in the shelter. Typical services offered, in addition to
shelter, include:
- individual and group counseling for adult victims and also their children
- legal services and legal advocacy
- assistance to access permanent housing
- assistance to develop financial resources
- referrals for medical assistance

You Can Help Heal the Effects of Domestic Violence with a Financial
Contribution to Give Back A Smile! The Give Back A Smile™ program
is dedicated to providing cosmetic dental care at no cost to all
survivors of domestic violence. The Give Back A Smile™(GBAS)
program was established by the American Academy of Cosmetic
Dentistry® (AACD) out of a desire to give something back to the
community, specifically, to help victims of unfortunate circumstances.

Dr. Wynn Okuda. He believed this program could allow all AACD members
to share their talents to help survivors of domestic violence who have
suffered damage to, or lost, their smiles in an abusive attack. To
