It is hard to stand up and say NO MORE to violence and abuse, but after 42 years of serving families, we know that what comes after that first step of saying NO MORE is the TRUE hard work. Each day, families are doing the hard work to live lives free from all forms of victimization, but it takes a lot of time, learning, bravery, and persistence. Each step forward is a step toward a future that is full of freedom!

Adults in our programs take an anonymous survey upon exit to provide feedback. From January 1 – December 31, 2021, those who participated shared:

  • 97% reported they are completing their goals.
  • 95% reported their safety has improved, even after leaving Stepping Stones.
  • 100% reported they are (re)gaining control of their lives.
  • 100% reported they are confident they will remain free from abuse after leaving Stepping Stones.
