What's New
"Your legal counsel was exactly what I needed to stop shaking in the middle of the storm. Your care and communication to people immediately, and I'm so glad I waited the extra day in order to meet with a LGBTQ-friendly counselor. My sincerest thanks for everything you have done for me and continue to do for our community."
AVP counseled me and empowered me. What was done to me - what is done to any survivor - it takes power away from them. What AVP does is give you power back. AVP is my family. They made a change in me and countless others."
