Blood, Or Broken Bones.
Our extensive approach to assisting victims of domestic violence includes confidential emergency and transitional shelters where victims and their children can stay safely while we assist them with the steps toward recovery and independent living.
Donate NowEvery minute in the U.S., 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner.
That equates to more than 10 million Americans every year.
The Salvation Army is a safe place to escape abuse.
Our extensive approach to assisting victims of domestic violence includes confidential emergency and transitional shelters where victims and their children can stay safely while we assist them with the steps toward recovery and independent living. In addition to immediate medical care to address physical wounds associated with domestic violence, each Salvation Army Safe House provides mental and spiritual counseling to help rehabilitate the men, women and children who have been traumatized by physical or sexual abuse.
The Salvation Army helps save
victims from domestic violence through:
The Cascade Woman and Children’s Center
This 24-hour shelter is specifically designed for homeless women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. Through health referrals, counseling, GED-certification programs, parenting classes, transportation, employment assistance, and placement into permanent housing, we provide assistance with vital life skills initiatives that help women maintain independence from abusive partners. Additionally, we provide children with a therapeutic preschool program in a nurturing environment. For the safety of our clients, the location of the facility is not available to the public.
The Phoenix Elim House
A safe haven that gives refuge to more than 1 million women every year, the Elim House can accommodate families as large as eight and accepts children up to and including age 17. The center, which harbors women and children for up to 120 days, helps residents develop safety plans and personal goals as steps towards empowerment. Children here are provided with their own crisis counseling program, along with recreational activities such as arts and crafts, field trips, and games.
Northwest Division Center
This extensive abuse recovery program assists victims of domestic violence through confidential emergency and transitional shelters. Victims and their children can stay safely here while we help equip them with the steps necessary to move toward recovery and independent living.
