Helping a Friend or Family Member

 

Are you concerned that a friend, family member, or co-worker may be experiencing abuse? Trust your instincts—you don’t have to see bruises to recognize abuse. Emotional and psychological abuse often happens long before any physical signs appear.

Here are common warning signs that someone may be in an abusive relationship:


  • Their partner puts them down or humiliates them in front of others
  • They seem nervous or anxious about making their partner angry
  • They often make excuses for their partner’s behavior
  • Their partner is jealous, possessive, or controlling
  • They have unexplained bruises or injuries
  • They’ve become isolated from friends, family, or support systems
  • You notice they’re withdrawn, depressed, or acting “not like themselves”

Residential and Non-Residential Services Include:

A Safe Place to Heal

At The Grace Center, we offer emergency shelter and support to all individuals fleeing domestic violence—regardless of gender, background, or circumstance. 

Our shelter provides a secure, compassionate environment where survivors and their children can begin the journey toward healing. You don’t have to go through this alone—we’re here to help you take the next step, safely and with dignity.

Counseling Support for Survivors

 Our professional on-site counselor provides confidential one-on-one sessions to support survivors of domestic violence as they navigate the healing process.

We offer a judgment-free, compassionate space where you can share your story, process your experiences, and begin rebuilding a life of strength, peace, and possibility.

Whether you're coping with recent trauma or beginning to explore long-term healing, you don’t have to face it alone—we’re here for you.

Legal Advocacy & Support

Navigating the legal system can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone.

At The Grace Center, we partner with trusted legal experts to help survivors access the protection and justice they deserve. 

We’re here to empower you with the tools and support you need to protect yourself and your family—with dignity and confidence.

Volunteer Opportunities

At The Grace Center, volunteers play a vital role in supporting our mission and making a real impact in the lives of survivors.

Whether it’s preparing meals, sorting donations, lending a skill, or simply showing up with compassion, your time matters.

Whether you can give a few hours a week or help at special events, every effort makes a difference.

Together, we can create a safe, healing space for those who need it most.
