This organization has been formed to meet the needs of victims of domestic violence after they have separated from their abusive partners. For many survivors, the abuse continues but just in different forms. Many survivors of domestic violence have left a relationship where they have been controlled physically and financially, and therefore leave with little more than the clothes on their backs. This puts these survivors at a crisis for being able to advocate for their children and unable to seek counseling to deal with an unhealthy trauma in a healthy way. As a result, many children are exposed to unhealthy violence vicariously and abused themselves, because the protective parent lacks the means to properly represent the children’s best interest.

We provide Services to meet the needs of survivors of domestic violence with peer support and educational services to navigate the post abusive relationship successfully. 

Many states have gone to legislation which reflects their awareness of this reality. Rebuttable assumption of custody requires the courts to deny unsupervised custody to domestic violence offenders until the point they offender can show the court they pose no elevated threat to the children by physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Parental Alienation is often the result of the current custody process by leaving the families exposed to the abusive parent without treatment. We can do better and we need to do better for the sake of these children and our society as a whole.
