Children's Services of My Sisters' Place

Robbie's Room

Since 1998 we have operated Robbie’s Room, an after-school program for children who do not live in one of our emergency shelters, but who have witnessed or experienced domestic violence in their homes. The program utilizes art and other creative activities to help each child understand and heal from the trauma of their experience and to foster the bond between the mother and child.

Children's Advocacy

For children residing in our emergency shelters, the Children's Advocate is available to help parents address the individualized needs of each child and help secure such services as educational assistance, healthcare, and other social services. My Sisters' Place also has on staff a Clinical Social Work Supervisor who is available to assist parents in dealing with the aftermath of domestic violence and the lingering effects on children.
