Did you know that 25.6% of U.S. children are exposed to family violence in their lifetime? In our community, over 10,000 children witness family violence each year.

Did you know Empowerhouse delivers the only shelter to support survivors of domestic violence and their children in our area? This is a place where they can escape from domestic violence; and we welcome them into a safe space with care, community, crisis support, secure bedrooms and care packages.

Empowerhouse is expanding our work with children and we need your help to break this cycle of violence. When you Empower a Child, you Empower a New Generation by providing the resources for greater self-esteem, better self-care and the skills for heathy relationships.

According to the Office on Women’s Health, “Children who witness violence between parents may also be at greater risk of being violent in their future relationships.” This is why Empowerhouse’s programs are so critical to break the generational cycle of domestic violence.

We help empower a new generation by providing children and teens with the vital tools for better self-care and the skills for healthy relationships. During the past year, you helped us:

Share our education materials (over 9,800) at over 345 community events to over 5,975 people.
Support 265 children and teens with advocacy, crisis shelter, housing, activities and group programs by assisting with coping and communications skills and creating and engaging in safety plans, artwork, games, puzzles, play and reading.
Raise awareness in teens about the dangers of dating violence, during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and throughout the year, with our BE REAL healthy relationships materials and Discussion Guide.
Deliver our free, age-appropriate Healthy Relationships Classroom Presentations to over 3,900 area elementary, middle, and high school students. We covered topics like bullying, healthy friendships, boundaries, warning signs of abusive behavior, equality and respect, and improved communication.

Your support helps us offer life-changing services and programs to survivors of domestic violence! Of the positive impact we made in their lives Kelsey and her family, Kelsey said, “My kids are thriving!...Empowerhouse’s support, education, and resources gave me the ability to learn and grow myself. I now educate my children on red flags, abuse, power and control, setting and keeping healthy boundaries, and more.”
