When we speak about domestic violence and sexual assault, the truth of the matter is… it does not care if you are black or white, rich or poor, young or old.

When domestic violence and sexual assault rears its ugly head it does not discriminate.

Every person that has experienced domestic violence or sexual assault is a mother/father, sister/ brother, neighbor, or co-worker. These people are in every area of our everyday lives.

We serve 11 counties including Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, Dubois, Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Orange, Pike, and Harrison.

All of our services are confidential and free of charge.
