Serving real estate professionals from its base in Burr Ridge, Illinois, the law firm of Codilis and Associates and its employees donate time and money to nonprofit organizations locally and globally. Focused on cause areas like children and families, Codilis & Associates assists the Mercy Home for Boys and Girls and Metropolitan Family Services (MFS) and its Family Shelter Services division. Family Shelter Services takes advantage of the preexisting infrastructure developed by MFS, spanning Chicago and surrounding counties and serving over 136,000 families. It provides physical, emotional, and psychological aid for children and adult survivors of domestic abuse. It has a 24-hour crisis hotline where individuals can receive advice remotely. Alternatively, survivors can visit or stay at the agency’s emergency shelter to receive care in a safe environment. Family Shelter Services also trains community members on how to identify cases of domestic abuse, how to refer survivors to appropriate resources, and on the legal protections and precedents around the issue. Trainings last for at least 40 hours and occur every month except December. Family Shelter Services offers proof of completion for certain continuing education programs. via WordPress https://ift.tt/s74dcAu
