DRIP PROGRAM^_™

Wise Protective Services and More, Inc. is dedicated to empowering domestic violence survivors across Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Georgia, particularly in the greater Atlanta area. Our mission centers on providing comprehensive transitional living, counseling, support services, and security protection to those who have experienced domestic violence. 

At the heart of our efforts is our innovative DRIP™ Program, which stands for Domestic Responses, Interventions, and Preventions. This program is designed to guide survivors on a transformative journey toward holistic well-being, focusing on their physical, mental, emotional, and financial health. We believe that by addressing these interconnected aspects of a survivor's life, we can help them build a foundation for lasting stability and independence.

Our ultimate goal is to create safe, nurturing environments where families can thrive without the shadow of fear or violence. By reducing the likelihood of recurrence and empowering individuals to reclaim their lives, we aim to foster resilience and hope within our communities. Through our dedicated services, we strive to break the cycle of abuse and support survivors in achieving a brighter, more secure future.
