Domestic Abuse Centers

Christian Appalachian Project has been committed to helping families resolve varying degrees of crisis and domestic abuse for more than 25 years. Currently, CAP operates two centers that serve several Kentucky counties. With a staff of employees and CAP volunteers, they provide safe shelter to hundreds of survivors and their children each year.

Our abuse centers assist survivors of domestic abuse in obtaining housing, serves as an advocate for survivors in the court system and helps survivors obtain any other resources they might require. Participants are also able to access counseling though CAP’s Counseling program. CAP staff and volunteers educate the public about domestic violence through community presentations and events.

Some volunteers in this program may perform community education and work with incarcerated women, while others serve children living in the shelter, so evening shifts are frequent. Volunteers may also perform other staff assistant duties as required.
