Approach
Victims of domestic violence can find refuge at the Little Fork Family Advocacy Center, the only safe shelter in the community. M+A is designing this comprehensive center that provides clinical and legal aid, secluded on a river, promoting a theme of peace and ease. The property will feature communal areas including a large kitchen, outdoor recreation, lively playrooms and pet kennels, a clear demonstration that everyone is taken into consideration.
Ten private suites will mimic a feeling of home, highlighting modular furniture for flexibility and comfortability. In conjunction with the YWCA and the Clermont County Officials and Prosecutor’s Office, designated meeting areas will provide a safe space for conversation with a sense of security. Other spaces include quiet rooms and areas that feature positive distractions for young children. On-site mental health professionals will be staffed for the utmost support in all facets of life as those that inhabit it heal and find peace in their strength to persevere.
