Since 1982, Project Horizon has served victims of domestic, dating, 
and sexual violence.  What began as the vision of a small group of 
women around a kitchen table has grown into a 24-hour agency 
serving Rockbridge county.  From working directly with victims 
and survivors to providing education and prevention programs to 
schools and community organizations, Project Horizon remains 
dedicated to reducing domestic, dating, and sexual violence.

TTY machine is available for deaf and hard of hearing callers and the AT&T Language Line is available for 

non-English speaking clients.

Court Advocacy

Our Court Advocacy Program provides support to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault during civil

Commonwealth's Attorney and answer questions about the court process.
