Our philosophy is
simple—break the cycle of domestic violence. Every citizen of this
country, by law and by human right, has the power and right to live a
violence free life. All offenders should be held accountable for
their actions and should be expected to change their life. Both
adult and child victims shall have the right to safe shelter,
nonjudgmental listening, quick and accessible services and choose their
own direction in life.
Peace Place opened
in June, 2000, and we are certified
by the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) and partially funded. We are an
emergency, short term 15 bed shelter. Since we opened, we have
housed over 1200 women and their children. Our outreach advocate is
available to meet with victims who do not need or want shelter but still
require services.
We try to take
a holistic approach when serving the victims. We recognize
that domestic violence is usually
not the only obstacle to independence and as such, we provide
wrap-around services to answer these needs. |
