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.

Albion Fellows Bacon Center is here to help!

    October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!!

    Did you know that?
    •On average more than three women a day are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in the United States. In 2005, 1,181 women were murdered by an intimate partner.
    •15.5 million children in the United States live in families in which partner violence occurred at least once in the past year, and seven million children live in families in which severe partner violence occurred.
    •Women who have experienced domestic violence are 80 percent more likely to have a stroke, 70 percent more likely to have heart disease, 60 percent more likely to have asthma and 70 percent more likely to drink heavily than women who have not experienced intimate partner violence.
    •One in five teen girls and one in ten younger teen girls (age 13 to 16) have electronically sent or posted nude or semi-nude photos or videos of themselves. Even more teen girls, 37 percent, have sent or posted sexually suggestive text, email or IM (instant messages).

    Statistics taken from http://www.endabuse.org/userfiles/file/Children_and_Families/DomesticViolence.pdf

    We hope you will join us at many of our events to create awareness on the issues surrounding domestic violence.
