Mississippi Choctaw Family Violence & Victim's Services
MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAW FAMILY VIOLENCE & VICTIM'S SERVICES

Addressing the often-stigmatized issues of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and elder abuse, the Family Violence and Victim’s Services (FVVS) provides comprehensive resources for victims such as access to legal services, counseling, and therapy. In addition, FVVS drafted a strict tribal domestic criminal code and continues to administer re-education programs for batterers, educational campaigns, and training seminars for law enforcement, security, and the tribal judiciary.
