It is hard to imagine that:
- Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten
- 1 in 3 women have been physically abused by an intimate partner
- 1 in 4 men have been physically abused by an intimate partner
It is even harder to imagine that most cases of domestic abuse go unreported. Raising funds to continue to provide services to victims is a challenge that we embrace as our responsibility and we need your help to do it.
Gaining stability after making the brave decision to escape the abuse in one’s own home creates even more challenges for the individual and ATV helps that victim address those challenges head on. With the addition of our SafeHouse we provide a continuum of care by giving the victim of domestic violence or sexual assault the option to leave the abuse rather than continuing to endure it. Accessing counseling and advocacy services for those impacted by violence is just the beginning of the uphill battle faced by victims of violence. Finding safe housing to shield them from continued abuse is daunting but with the SafeHouse we are able to do just that.
We didn't quite reach our intended goal of $20,000 but with your help, we made a dent. Should you have any questions or like a tour of our newly renovated SafeHouse please do not hesitate to call us: 970-669-5150.

THE IMPACT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE Nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men are victims of rape (Black et al., 2011). But all of us are impacted by sexual violence. That’s because sexual violence affects communities and society — in addition to survivors and their loved ones. Because of this, it’s on all of us to help prevent it. Click here to see full text.
Help is available. Local sexual assault centers can provide help. In crisis situations, contact 1-800-656-4673. For more information, visit the National Sexual Violence Resource Center website. If you or someone you know has been abused, please call our 24 hour crisis line at 970-880-1000 or the office at 970-669-5150. |
