Child at Imminent Risk: a child less than 18 years of age who, in the near future, reasonably may be expected to face out-of-home placement as a result of at least one of the following: dependency, abuse, or neglect; emotional disturbance; family conflict so extensive that reasonable control of the child is not exercised (source: Indiana Department of Child Services).

Terms like "Child at Imminent Risk of Placement" are important to know when going through a child custody case. VIBS Legal team (attorneys and advocates) can assist with this type of case if you are eligible. Call us to find out more: 631-360-3606

According to the AVA Project, le***an and
bisexual women can experience unique forms of
abuse based on their sexuality. In fact, some folx will criticize someone for not being a β€˜real le***an or
bisexual woman’ if they've only recently
come out or had a previous heterosexual relationship. Sound familiar? VIBS is a safe space. Call us. 631-360-3606.
