Help is Here
Response helped me out of darkness. They gave psychological help with a professional that helped me face the men that sexually assaulted me. With my advocate's help, I was able to report my aggressors to law enforcement. Response will help you end the agony and suffering. Know that you are not alone, the help is at Response

The cost of living has increased so much and the support has helped us stay in safe housing. We have made great strides forward and it wouldn't be possible without Response. The support from Response helped us reach financial independence and healing.

Perpetrators of domestic abuse, like my ex, try to destroy not just you but your love for your child, your career, your reputation and your friendships. They take away your stability and your safety. Response validated this experience for me and helped me see the gravity of its consequences — to me and to my child.
Through private and group therapy, they helped me rehabilitate my core beliefs. We studied the cycle of violence and filled my toolbox with skills, awareness and resources. Through Response I extricated my daughter and I. We are back in the game — participating, creating and contributing to our community again.
