Having a supportive community helps adults experiencing abuse to ensure that they can continue to move forward toward freedom from all forms of abuse. That community can come in many forms – from a 12-step group to a club that meets regularly. Plus, understanding how to stay connected to community resources can help families stay safe in the future. Adults in our programs take an anonymous survey upon exit to provide feedback. From January 1- December 31, 2020, those who participated shared:

 

  • 98% reported they feel secure with their links to access ongoing local support.
  • 100% reported they know how to plan for their continued safety.
  • 100% reported they have knowledge of services available.
  • 100% reported they have increased knowledge of domestic violence and its effects on their lives.
