Addressing Domestic Violence in Indian Country
MILS staff may provide the full range of services for survivors of domestic violence pursuant to a federal Violence Against Women Act or Victim of Crime Act grant program. This may take the form of MILS as a grantee program, a subgrantee program, or as a host of an attorney from a grantee program where supervision or co-counseling is needed.

Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence (statewide and on-reservation),
CvLAP (statewide and on some reservations in the lower peninsula) (tribalsurvivorhelp@lsscm.org),
