If you, or someone you know, are subject to assaultive or coercive behavior by an intimate partner or family member, we encourage you to call us for help today. Even if you're not ready to leave, we can provide you with the help and support you need and deserve.

There's never an excuse for domestic abuse.

You already took a big step by searching out options and finding us. Call us today for a free, confidential consultation, and let us help you figure out what you need to do.

Please note that we are not an emergency service but can connect you with such a service if necessary.

How We Help

• We offer a safe, confidential environment for individuals experiencing abuse to come forward and seek help.
• We provide the emotional support and practical help you need, and we work with you to make a crisis safety plan to help keep you and your family members safe.
• We can provide referrals for confidential advice about legal rights and procedures. We can also refer you to shelters or other services that are available in our community.
• We do not want payment to get in the way of your receiving help. If necessary, we can provide several therapy sessions, as well as case management and resource coordination, at no cost to you.
