Please take the time to read real local stories from survivors of domestic violence. Each one went on the journey from victim, to survivor, to thriver. So can you. They want others to know that there is help. They thought maybe their story would give someone else the strength to reach out. As you will see in these stories, domestic violence does not discriminate based on age, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or economic status.
These stories are real and may be difficult for some. Please take care of yourself and reach out to Safe Journey at 814-438-2675 if you need to speak with a trained advocate. Our services are free and confidential.
