If you are being stalked, or even if you fear that you are, we can help. Once we know what you are facing, we will work with you on a safety plan. We never provoke violence. Actually, we do everything we can to avoid it.

STALKER ASSISTANCE

<a href=""></a>

Ending an abusive relationship does not always end the terror.  We will escort you to and from your court proceedings to protect you from intimidation. We also do mock court testimony practice so that you will know what to expect.

COURT ESCORT & PREPARATION

<a href=""></a>

Many victims of domestic abuse lack financial stability because of their situation. We have volunteers to tutor job and life skills to help you become self-sustaining. We also host job fairs to help you find potential employers.

LIFE AND JOB SKILLS COACHING

<a href=""></a>

We are certified in a Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), a program that helps identify victims of domestic violence who are at the highest risk. If you have questions, we can help you by identifying risk factors.

God only knows where I would have been without your help. After being strangled, beaten, battered, and bitten, I was completely physically and emotionally distraught. I will forever be grateful for you and everyone that has helped me and continues to. God Bless each of you!

ABOUT US

Since 2012 we have been helping victims of domestic violence escape from their abusive partners and environments. Our goal is to help turn victims into survivors and get them to a place where they can begin to rebuild their lives. We never provoke abusers or encourage violence. Actually, we do everything that we can to avoid altercations or confrontations of any kind. We simply want to be a voice for the voiceless because everyone deserves to feel safe. Because we want to help women who are truly in need, we require that the women that we help actively participate in their journey to safety.
