Intimate partner violence has wrongfully had a place in personal and generational histories. Creating a future that doesn’t repeat the past begins with understanding the problem, education on the impact of abuse on victims, and offering insights into where change can happen to end the cycle of violence for future generations.
Sexual Assault has been misunderstood and misrepresented for far too long. Learn about the basics of sexual violence and the importance of consent to change the culture of victim-blaming.
Stalking has expanded and become more prevalent in the last 20 to 30 years. There are many methods used to stalk a victim and with the expansion of technology, those methods have only increased.
Healthy relationships are learned and our first relationships can begin as a teen. As teens navigate this new experience they can misunderstand certain behaviors. If left uncorrected, abusive behaviors can become normalized in future relationships.
Child Abuse is difficult for children to understand, hard for a caring adult to recognize, and the consequences can be far-reaching.

Abuse impacts the LGBTQIA community at a higher rate but they are less likely to reach out for support and services. By creating a welcoming and judgment-free space, we can begin to provide healing and help end the cycle of abuse.
Societal standards of masculinity downplay male victimization, inhibit survivors from accessing the healing services they need, and perpetuates the cycle of abuse. Any person can be a victim of abuse and everyone deserves safety and security.
We believe in the importance of teaching healthy relationships, boundaries, and communication to children and teens with the goal of preventing the violence from the beginning or giving them the tools to end it. Live Violence Free extends its value of education to the community at large through our One Conversation podcasts, training, and presentations.

IN THEIR WORDS

Sarah's Story

“Overcoming child sexual abuse, abandonment issues, drug addiction, and single motherhood was no easy task but she was able to persevere. Now, Sarah is thriving on her own, going to school, working a full-time job, and enjoying motherhood as she watches her two children blossom in a healthy home environment.

Sarah's Story

Emotional Abuse

As I swiftly slugged down the last third of the bottle, I began to feel a sense of relaxation take over my body. My fear and depression slowly melted away, and for a brief moment, I could numb the pain from my traumatic past and the daily demands of our two children. I could feel my nerves tense when he walked through the door. Within minutes he began criticizing my behavior and shouting profanities that shattered any sense of self-worth I had. He would twist the argument to make it seem like it was my fault, ultimately manipulating me into apologizing and consoling him. 

Knowing the only way out was to escape, I abruptly fled with the children and sought help from Live Violence Free. Live Violence Free assisted me with housing, legal guidance, and counseling for me and my children. But soon after, the loneliness triggered my abandonment issues and I began heavily drinking again to alleviate the depression. Feeling alone and vulnerable, I found myself in another emotionally abusive relationship. “How did I get here again?” I let my past sabotage my progress. I felt ashamed and disappointed that I slipped back into old habits, which made me hesitant to contact Live Violence Free again. But I knew I didn’t have a choice, I had to find courage and break the cycle. I had to get my children away from the childhood I was all too familiar with. 

Sarah continued to seek out Live Violence Free and received additional counseling and housing assistance. Sarah’s story is a true reflection of bravery and resilience. Overcoming child sexual abuse, abandonment issues, drug addiction, and single motherhood was no easy task but she was able to persevere. Now, Sarah is thriving on her own, going to school, working a full-time job, and enjoying motherhood as she watches her two children blossom in a healthy home environment.
