Pillars of Support

Individuals

First, we work with individuals to help them develop secure communications, which is often the first time they’ve talked to loved ones in years. This starts to break the cycle of control and isolation, and it gives them a voice once again. Then, we start helping the individual plan plan their escape, even with their children and pets. Our support doesn’t end until they finally feel safe again.

Support Systems

Everyone needs a place they feel safe. We work with the person’s support system to help them protect their loved one by concealing their location and providing assistance without alerting the abuser. We also work with domestic violence shelters and safe houses, social services, and advocacy groups to help them protect their clients. We provide the security layer so they can focus on what they do best.

Education / Awareness

We also focus on educating the people or groups with power to help. By reaching out to policymakers and lawmakers, we hope to be able to encourage legal reform that will better protect survivors and combat different forms of abuse. We provide assistance and training to help close the knowledge gap between law enforcement and abusers.
