Our ongoing mission is to break the cycle of violence by providing a safe alternative to a violent home and by providing education, counseling and support services to clients and their children.

We inform our community about the need and concerns of the victims of these assaults. Plus, how each individual can play a critical role in our awareness and prevention endeavors.

You're NOT alone - there are people to assist you!
