We know it takes a lot of strength to make life choices that bring change.

Sometimes those choices and changes can be frightening – even if you believe they're the right ones.

 When those changes include finding ways to be safe from an abusive partner, you risk facing increased abuse and violence – making a hard decision harder, especially if you not only fear for your safety, but also for the safety of your children.

That's why we offer support.

We'll talk with you about what you're going through and your fears and concerns about what might happen to you in the future. Then we'll explore different ways you might be able to protect yourself from danger, how to navigate the legal system and, if you need it, where you can find a safe place to live – emergency shelter, longer-term transitional housing, and options provided by the social service system.

Though we'll never tell you what to do, we are here to listen – and to offer
support and information.
