Therapeutic services:ops continued to offer therapeutic services through a licensed mental health therapist who provided both individual counseling and crisis support. Although detailed monthly therapy data was not included in the report, delivery remained consistent with past benchmarks:approximately 15 to 20 individual therapy sessions were provided each week, with some sessions exceeding this number. Over 150 unduplicated clients were served during the yearclients collaborated with the therapist to create personalized, trauma-informed treatment plans. These addressed challenges such as post-traumatic stress, emotional regulation, and healing from long-term trauma.

Helpline and gbv services:in 2024, ops's core advocacy team responded to a total of 1,028 contacts through the emergency and assistance helpline. This line serves as a direct access point for individuals seeking outreach materials, referrals, crisis intervention, and support with immediate needs. The annual total far exceeded the contracted goal of 120 engagements.monthly call volume increased steadily throughout the year, with early months ranging from 14 to 27 contacts, then spiking to 231 in june. High call volumes continued through the second half of the year, with 61 to 189 individuals served per month between july and december.this trend reflects both increased public awareness of ops's helpline services and rising demand for urgent, trauma-informed support. The helpline continues to be a vital access point for survivors navigating crisis situations and seeking safe, nonjudgmental connection to resources.
