There is a need in our community.

New Beginnings serves 1,000 abuse survivors every year with advocacy and support.

In 2018,  62 families needed to relocate because of domestic violence. They were not safe in their own homes.

The closest shelter for victims of domestic violence currently is 30-50 miles away, and rarely has openings for out-of-county persons.

OUR MISSION:
To provide supportive services and advocacy for adult and child victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, harassment and human trafficking. We also educate the community about these critical issues.

OUR GOAL:
To build a domestic violence center in Walworth County by 2020 to help serve the needs of our community.
