A home is supposed to be a sanctuary, a place to escape to, but yours is the opposite and something you want to escape from, thanks to domestic violence.
And this is the case in far too many homes in the United States — 10 million people experience intimate partner violence each year. Furthermore, about one in four women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence at some point in their lives.
When the very place that’s supposed to shelter you becomes a place of danger and violence, it may feel like you have nowhere to go, but that isn’t the case. At Harmony Homes for Healing, we offer domestic violence safe homes that provide a safe space for you and your family to heal and move on.
Here, we cover some of the many benefits of seeking out our domestic violence safe homes.
When you’re coming from a dangerous environment, you just want a place where you can truly relax and where threats don’t lurk, which is precisely our goal with our domestic violence safe homes. We provide safe, excellent security housing, where you can access good community resources.
Did you know that between 3 and 10 million kids and teens witness domestic violence at home each year? The effect that this exposure can have on kids is considerable, which is why we’re pleased to extend the domestic violence safe homes to children of domestic abuse survivors.
We’re sure we don’t need to explain the mental health consequences of living through trauma like domestic violence. While we offer a landing spot with our domestic violence safe homes, creating a safe space is more than just four walls.
Once we get you settled in a safe home, we make sure you and your kids have access to mental healthcare through support groups, as well as individual counseling. The support groups can be especially beneficial as victims of domestic violence can work together and support each other in moving forward.
From household supplies to utilities, we ensure you have what you need while in one of our domestic violence safe homes. We can also provide limited transportation and make sure that you have access to food.
You have enough to worry about in dealing with the aftermath of living in a violent situation, and we want you to prioritize getting healthy, physically and mentally.
Harmony Homes also provides comprehensive case management so that we can make sure that you have the resources you need to get back on your feet. From education and skill building to help with finding more permanent housing, we’re with you every step of the way as you work toward a brighter future for you and your family.
