Becky
James spoke to Bonners Ferry Rotary members today about
the Boundary County Victim Services, formerly
known as Boundary County Youth Crisis and
Domestic Violence Hotline. Becky shared the purpose behind Victim Services, giving children and adolescents a safe place to turn when their lives are disrupted by trauma and/or domestic violence or abuse. She explained the role of Victim Services is to advise people of rights and options for them, and then offer support to help make that happen.
Boundary County Victim Services is a non-profit organization existing on donations and grants. The organization employs two full time employees and a part time advocate, yet 100-percent of all donations goes to help locals in Boundary County.
For information on all the services available through the Boundary County Victim Services, you can call the hotline at (208) 267-5211.
