What We Do

Provide Safe Environments Including:

Ending Domestic Violence: Through community education, policy advocacy, and collaborative partnerships, we work to eliminate domestic violence at its source — because prevention is just as powerful as protection.

‍Supervised Visitation: We offer a safe, neutral environment for court-ordered and voluntary child visitation, protecting children and parents from further harm while supporting healthy family relationships.

Intervention Programs:
Our evidence-based intervention programs address the rootcauses of domestic violence — helping survivors heal and helping those whocause harm take accountability and change behavior.

‍Emergency Housing: When home is no longer safe, we provide immediate, secure shelter and transitional housing for women and families fleeing domestic violence. You don't have to face tonight alone.‍
