Verde Valley Sanctuary's new Executive Director, Nicole Florisi, said during the Jan. 12 club meeting, that she wants to provide more trauma care and mitigation for victims of domestic violence. Nicole, who has 20 years experience in law enforcement and is still a part-time police officer, also has a master's degree in counseling and says more classes and skills are needed for victims to rebuild their lives. The Sanctuary offers comprehensive services for victims of family violence and assault including a 28 bed shelter, 24-hour crisis hotline, advocacy and counseling services, legal support and community wide education and prevention programs. Victims and their children can stay up to four months in the shelter. Nicole says toiletry items are always needed.
