Empower Tehama - Red Bluff, California

They refused to let my boyfriend inside the building and only would talk to him through a speaker box. He was seeking help for his teenage daughter suffering from trauma and depression worrying about having to stay with her mother due to a custody order. They refused to help him as the mother had already "inquired" there but we found out later that the child was never even seen there. Seemed like they were taking the mothers side by refusing to help him let alone let him inside the building for information. CPS and cops have since been involved yet they refused to help the child!

This place has been truly amazing! They have been such a huge blessing. I love the staff and how supportive they have been. It's services like this that deserve more funding. They have provided me with so much more than just assistance out of a bad situation. They have given me the support to move forward with my life and it's been truly life changing. Thank you so much!❤️🤟

My cousin went there for help with a domestic violence situation and one of the workers knew one of her abusers and gave them all of her information including court documents and exposed all of her evidence. The worker laughed about it in a recording that my cousins primary abuser showed my cousin and said that my cousin was lying. This place is failing my cousin and whoever runs this place should have handled it and reassured my cousin when she went to the cops about this situation. A scared person asking for help shouldn’t have to go through this because of a place specifically for helping victims. Suzanna Reyes and Enelinda
Ocampo are responsible for the victim blaming. Whoever their authorities are, I would appreciate if they reached out to me.

Empower knows who I am & which case/victims I am referring to.

That being said; The victims and their families need Witness Protection and IMMEDIATE Relocation.

This agency knows this, so do both law enforcement agencies as well as the District Attorney.

All will be held accountable if anything happens to any of these victims or their families.

I've interacted with Empower Tehema at their office on 2 seperate occassions and once at the Sheriffs Department last week.

I would like to think they are there to support the victim and their family, but so far that's not what I am seeing.

I am very nervous about this agency.

When my friend went to them for help in the past she was turned away and told there was nothing they could do for her.

It wasn't until CPS sent my friend back to them that they finally started my friends paperwork.

I get the impression they are trying to frame my friend even though they know she came forward and was rejected/turned away.

What I found surprising during the forensic interview was that the Empower staff had Starbucks deliver a large amount of drinks and pastries but failed to offer it to the victim or her family.

A Sherriff did offer me one of the coffee's and I accepted but was never given it.

I kept waiting for it and finally asked, but was provided a cup of coffee from the Sheriff's coffee machine.

I wasn't mad, I can afford to buy my own coffee.

It was just a thoughtless action and very poor manners.

I ponder where the funds came from that paid for the Starbucks food & beverages. Did those monies come from a victims fund?

What was worse was the message that thoughtless action sent which was "you may be the victims, but we are the team".

I hope they rethink such activities in the future and think of the victims before themselves.

All I can do at this point is hope for the best, wait and see.

I will be back to update this review when all is said and done.

Super helpful people. I've been in a custody battle, and they helped me out so much. Got me in the right direction and I'm lucky to have full custody of my beautiful daughter.

Their new name is EMPOWER Tehema. I needed help with a restraining order but I must have walked in on an "off day". I did not return because it just did not feel very welcoming from the moment I walked in.
