Advocates are here for you.
Our services for survivors
Emergency Shelter
Our 42 person shelter provides a comfortable and safe emergency refuge for people made homeless due to recent domestic violence. Contact us if you are in need of shelter.
Personal Advocacy
Our advocates are able to assist survivors to file protection orders, identify safe and affordable housing and to be with you throughout every step of your journey to heal. We have funding available to assist with transport costs, clothes, food, counselling, rent, and other expenses that can help survivors get their lives back on track.
24 Hour Hotline
Our trained advocates are ready to talk to you at any time of the day or night. Calls are 100% confidential and judgment free. Toll free 1-800-999-2348
Emergency Room Advocacy
If you have experienced a sexual assault or an injury due to domestic violence our advocates will meet you at the emergency room and guide you through the process of getting the right medical care and if you wish, a forensic exam.
Support Group
We have a monthly support group for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. We facilitate a space for survivors to support one another, learn together and heal.
Sexual Assault Response Team
We facilitate the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) in Butte, Lawrence and Meade counties in South Dakota, ensuring local service providers are offering a coordinated response to tackling sexual assaults.
