We provide a safe location where all the needs of victims are met, where children are protected, where violence stops, where families heal and thrive where hope is realized.

Disagreements develop from time to time in relationships. Domestic violence is not a disagreement. Domestic violence encompasses a wide range of acts committed by one partner against another in an intimate relationship. This may occur in a variety of relationships: married, separated, divorced, dating, heterosexual, gay or lesbian. Violence of a particularly injurious nature is primarily perpetrated by men against women.


Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviors, some causing physical injury, others not, some criminal, others not, but all psychologically damaging. Frequently, domestic violence includes threats of violence, threats of suicide, or threats to take children from the abused person. It may also include breaking objects, hurting pets, yelling, driving recklessly to endanger or scare the abused person, isolating family members from others, and controlling resources like money, vehicles, credit, and time.


The goal of an abusive person is to establish and maintain control over his or her partner.


Domestic violence is a learned pattern of behavior whose effects, without intervention, become more destructive and sometimes lethal over time.
