Our Team

Becky Vermeire

Executive Director

Stefanie Parker

I am here to assist resident and non-resident victims of domestic and sexual violence who are seeking civil Orders of Protection from abuse. I will provide help, guidance, and education related to this process, offer resource options and courtroom support.

I can recommend local attorneys to help with your legal issues, regarding domestic or sexual violence. I will work with you to help you find legal representation for your case. I can also assist with transportation for court related events (appointments with attorneys, probation and parole, and Children’s Division)

Talk to me about registering your phone number with the MOVANS system so you can be notified of court dates, service of Orders of Protection, prison releases, etc. Make an appointment with me for help in filling out Crime Victims Compensation Forms, applying to Legal Services, or assistance with an on-line Dissolution of Marriage.

I have been working as the Court Advocate for the past eight years and am very familiar with the court personnel here in Taney County. I can point you in the right direction, as far as who you need to talk to, in order to get what you need done. I can also accompany you to your Order of Protection hearings or criminal cases, and be there for emotional support.

I can offer assistance in the following counties: Taney, Christian, Greene, and Stone. You can usually find me at the Circuit Clerk’s office in the mornings and I try to be back at the shelter office by 12:00 pm (Mon – Fri). Please feel free to call and make an appointment.
