<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nThe Shelter\u2019s DVAM Clothesline Project will be displayed in several departments throughout the Clerk\u2019s Office to maximize its visual impact for this month. This project features t-shirts designed by Shelter participants during their time in The Shelter. The aim is to raise awareness about the effects of violence and abuse, celebrate a survivor’s resilience, and offer a platform for them to bravely share their experiences and break the silence that often envelops them.<\/p>\n
Each department of The Clerk\u2019s Office will also be exhibiting a collection bin for the Shelter\u2019s current needs of ongoing essentials. These essentials range from adult, children, pantry, and pet needs, so a wide range of items may be donated, including toiletries, bedding, clothing, baby formula, diapers, used cell phones, pet foods, and more. The complete list can be found at naplesshelter.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Clerk\u2019s Office plays a critical role in supporting victims of domestic abuse as a provider of legal support in filing protective orders, dissolution of marriage, and other court documents to break free from the control of their abusers. The Clerk\u2019s Self-Help Center provides access to these services and includes a private space to ensure protection and confidentiality.<\/p>\n To learn more about the Clerk\u2019s services and the Self-Help Center, visit collierclerk.com\/court-divisions\/self-help-center<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
