It helps victims navigate the civil court system, obtain protective orders from their abusers, and educate them on various ways to stay safe.

RCS MENTORING (Study Buddy Program) A program where Regina met once per week with an at-risk elementary aged student to help increase that child's academic performance, self-esteem, and emotional development by using the time to encourage good attendance in school, promote literacy, build character, strengthen their personal confidence, and enhance their joy of learning.
