We Live and Work For These Moments

By March 6, 2015 No Comments
We live and work for these moments…a resident came into our office beaming. She had just come back from a court appearance and the judge and prosecutor were so proud of her. Not only had she removed herself from an abusive relationship, but she had also begun to take the steps to break the chains of addiction and maintain consistent employment. The prosecutor even hugged her on the way out.  We are so proud of her too!

Our programs are structured to allow for more stories like this to be told. Our Emergency/Crisis Intervention Program provides a safe haven, while also meeting their basic needs and taking them through an assessment to determine what they need to build a life of safety and self-sufficiency. Our Life Skills Program takes that next step to develop the emotional and economic resources to build stability and independence. Our Children’s Program addresses their basic needs, as well as teaches them about healthy relationships, decreasing the likelihood that they’ll become abusers or be abused themselves.

If you or someone you know is in an unhealthy relationship and you don’t know where to turn, please call us. Regardless if you need housing or not, our advocates are available to speak with you and share resources available or just listen. We’re available 24/7 at 317-745-1496.

Together, we can break the cycle of abuse.

In His Service,
