What We DO

MOTH is dedicated to assisting victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. There is also a focus on providing counseling and support to individuals and families who have been impacted by various other traumas as a result of violent crimes. We also focus on educational outreach to bring awareness to domestic violence and other kinds of abuse to educate the community and help prevent this kind of trauma from continuing to be prevalent in our communities. The MOTH Foundation diligently serves the county of Los Angeles and we look forward to providing services in other neighboring counties such as Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino I the near future.

Therapists are available to offer individual, family, and group sessions. Individuals can be treated for various kinds of trauma at The MOTH Agency such as:

Advocates and staff at the agency will assist clients in obtaining information and directing victims to other organizations and programs which may cover the cost of mental health services for victims of a crime.
