When You're Ready:
We offer a safe and welcoming space for survivors to connect to all the resources and partner agencies they might need. These can allow a victim to flee a dangerous situation or perhaps gain more information on resources and community supports available to them.
We can answer questions, provide referrals, and assist in a variety of ways that help a victim of abuse move to safety and become a thriving survivor. All our services are free and confidential.
Our process is survivor-driven, meaning we provide resources and information and a client decides what they want to use and how they want to use it. Clients do not need to participate in prosecution to access resources. Walk-ins are welcome and no appointment is necessary.

“These ladies do a wonderful job day in and day out. I was a victim of DV in my first marriage and wish I had known this much help was out there then. I would have ended the abuse sooner instead of staying in it for 10 years. Awesome program. Awesome supportive staff.”
