• there are weapons being used and if so, what type.
• there are drugs and/or alcohol involved.
• there are children (or others) present in the home.

Sometimes we speak with women, and people in their lives who love and support them, who are simply wondering about their options.  Other times, we speak with women who urgently need the safety of our shelter and services.

If you need help, please contact us any time, day or night.
