Families who do the hard work to find freedom from abuse often share stories of gratitude. Gratitude for a safe place where they can finally breath, for new tools they can use to navigate the challenges of life, and that they found support when they needed it.

And we are grateful that our advocates can be that support, day and night. Adults complete an anonymous survey upon exit to provide feedback.
