WELCOME

Twenty five years ago, a group of concerned community members vowed that no one in danger of being abused in their own homes, by their own loved ones, should ever be alone and without refuge again.

They started on a shoestring, with little money but much passion and conviction. Much like the women and children they were dedicated to serving, they were brave, resilient, and never gave up hope.

Today, we see the results of their vision: a place where anyone who is a victim of or at risk of domestic violence, can come for help, support and most importantly, belief-in their story, in their dignity, in their right to live free from fear and harm.

MISSION

Alternatives for Battered Women exists to enhance the quality of life and empower individuals affected by, or at risk of, domestic violence.

The Agency provides a full continuum of services, including crisis counseling, support and prevention/education.
