Home is not always a safe place.
Survivors who had plans to seek safety had to put them on hold as they coped with unemployment, health concerns, child care issues and lack of support from family, co-workers and community. The barriers to seeking safety are much more difficult to overcome, resulting in a catastrophic spike in domestic violence.
For nearly 50 years, Sojourner, Wisconsin’s largest provider of domestic violence prevention and intervention services, has worked to raise awareness of family violence, advocate for survivors’ rights and respond to their critical needs.
As an organization, we have always been committed to serving our community and its citizens with the utmost dignity and respect.
