I have found that WEAVE hotline is often not answering their phone for days at a time. Working in the field of Social Work this agency has proven to underimpress me. Especially in the area of crsis services. I recommend Domestic Violence Intervention Center of Citrus Heights if you really need help escaping a violent environment. WEAVE is substand in it's crisis services in my opinion and I have tried many times to use this agency for crisis of clients. I simply do not call them anymore . . . the emergency room is the emergency Shelter, a client can get into WEAVE through a doctor referral so simply take your clients to the emregency room and cut out the middle man.
