Brighter Tomorrows offers a variety of services to help victims of domestic violence get support and recover from their abuse.
Our Services
Counseling
Therapeutic sessions offer survivors hope, facilitate their healing, and foster personal empowerment. Our counseling services are available to both mandated and voluntary clients and are free of charge…
Legal Advocacy
Our bilingual staff support survivors in Family, District, Integrated Domestic Violence, Felony Youth, and Human Trafficking Courts, in both the Central Islip and Riverhead courthouses…
Services for Men
We also provide counseling for men who have suffered from domestic abuse. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone who understands how control, anger, and fear play out in a relationship.
Emergency Shelter
If you are in a domestic violence situation, New York State licensed secure domestic violence shelter offers clients the opportunity to begin recovery by accessing their needs, discussing safety issues and providing clients individual attention to help them become familiar with the area…
Transitional Housing
Some families need more time after they leave the shelter. Transitional housing gives them a steady place to live while they work on getting settled again. It is the next step for people who are already moving toward stability but are not ready for permanent housing yet.
Financial Literacy
The Moving Ahead Program is a financial education course designed for people who have experienced abuse and need to rebuild their independence. Brighter Tomorrows offers this program to adults at the shelter and to community members seeking clearer guidance and a fresh start.
