Founded in 1989 on the belief that all people deserve a life free from interpersonal violence, The James House Intervention/Prevention Services provides support, advocacy, and education for people in the Tri-Cities area* who are affected by domestic violence, sexual violence and stalking, to empower them to become healthy, safe, and self-sufficient.

By providing mission driven, client centered, culturally relevant services through case management plans, we help clients create outcomes that address life satisfaction, hope and optimism, empowerment and knowledge about issues associated with sexual violence, domestic violence, and stalking as well as the services available to address these issues. Our ultimate goal is to assure client self-sufficiency and sustainable change through coaching and empowering strategies

The James House works within broader movements to realize a just and equitable world free of violence. We embrace and respect differences in national origin, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, ethnicity, mental/physical capabilities, religious beliefs, and/or financial status. 

The James House is fully accredited by The Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance.
