At Stepping Stones, women, men, and children work hard to find freedom from all forms of abuse. Because of you, our advocates are available 24/7/365 to support families receiving services. Check out a few statistics and outcomes that we’ve seen over the last 12 months (Data from Sept. 1, 2021 – August 31, 2022):
- Advocates provided over 9,845 hours of face-to-face advocacy services including educational support groups
- 3,676 Helpline crisis and referral calls answered and 120 adults & children received face-to-face services
- Of the adults we served: Average number of relationships = 3; Average number of abusive relationships = 2.
- What does this tell us? It highlights that underlying trauma or behaviors may be keeping someone vulnerable to abuse.
