Case Management
Pathways to Safety International offers specialized safety planning and long-term case management for American overseas victims either living with an abuser, through their journey from danger to safety, after the relationship has ended.
Case managers have the tools and knowledge to assist survivors with safety planning in foreign countries and/or after returning to the United States. Please contact a case manager at Pathways for more information or to create a specialized safety plan.
If you would like to find out more about safety planning, please visit our staying safe page. If you are in immediate danger, please call your local authorities.
Legal Advocacy
Depending upon the situation, Pathways may be able to provide referrals for qualified international family lawyers, and advocate for legal aid services when available. In some cases we can also provide limited financial assistance for legal consultations or retainers to help survivors gain custody of their children.
Professional Counseling
Pathways works with licensed professional counselors providing emergency reintegration therapy for victims. These counselors understand the difficulties of reintegrating into society, in tandem with addressing the traumatic experience of surviving and escaping an abusive relationship.
Danger to Safety Relocation
Pathways can advocate for repatriation loans from American Embassies and other necessary services for victims. In some cases, payment of airline tickets back home to the USA are possible.
Protecting Pets
Pathways strives to keep pets protected from abuse. We are sometimes able to provide food, veterinary certificates, cost of transportation and kennels as well as assist in placing pets in foster homes while we work to get victims from danger to safety.
