Casa Myrna is Bostons largest provider of domestic violence awareness efforts and of shelter and supportive services to survivors. Our comprehensive range of services, available in both Spanish and English, provide survivors with tools to recover from the trauma of abuse and begin to build sustainable self-sufficiency. Initially established to provide emergency legal services, the Legal Advocacy Program has grown to also provide full representation in Probate and Family Court matters. Casa Myrna is one of the few programs in Massachusetts to provide survivors with representation beyond the initial restraining order hearing.
