By Andrea Jenkins, MSW, LCSW

Beacon of Hope Crisis Center offers in-house counseling services which removes many barriers for our clients including access to services, inability to pay for services, and incapability to self-advocate for needs. Our team can meet the needs of the women, men and families who contact us for services with competency and grace. During this challenging time, many of our clients are ready to receive support from a counselor to resolve presenting problems, experience personal growth, address problematic behaviors, and identify goals with potential solutions.

Counseling is a vital component to healing after being in an abusive relationship. It gives the person an opportunity to tell their emotionally filled story in a safe, non-judgmental place. For most, this is the first time they have been able to tell their story in its entirety including the role they played in the relationship. This courageous act is where internal healing begins. Coming to counseling for some is the first thing that they have done for themselves in years. In therapy, they can see their strength to move through their journey of hurt which allows them to go from victim to survivor.

Beacon of Hope Crisis Center counseling services provide individuals and families an opportunity to visualize and work toward the future they want which for most is simply to be HAPPY AND SAFE.

By Sandra K. Ziebold

The Impact of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault on Businesses is financially mind-boggling and the toll on individuals and team culture is horrific. Listening and having conversations with corporate boards, executive management teams, lunch-n-learns with corporate employees, awareness speaking engagements and community events are all a vital part of how we educate and assist the businesses in our community. Beacon of Hope raises public awareness about domestic and sexual violence and the tremendous emotional, physical and economic cost of this violence. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the cost of intimate partner rape, physical assault and stalking totals $5.8 billion each year for direct medical and mental health care services and lost productivity from paid work and household chores. Of this, total productivity losses accounted for nearly $1.8 billion in the United States in 1995. When updated in 2003 the cost of intimate partner rape, physical assault and stalking was more than $8.3 billion. It is now 2016 and we know from listening and working with corporations that this problem does impact financials and we want to help you with that and save lives in the process. Contact Beacon of Hope Crisis Center today to schedule conversation that makes a difference in your company.

Individual empowerment is a process of development for each individual person. It involves developing skills and abilities and a more positive definition of ones self.

Achieving individual empowerment is realized by having a better feeling about yourself, a sense of more self-respect and self-esteem.

If you want a simple mantra - Individual Empowerment means 'becoming powerful'.

To become personally empowered...We must be able to answer...what are my personal values, what are my skills and goals... then do I want, really want, personal empowerment and am I motivated and prepared to adjust my behavior in order to achieve my goals.

If you or someone you know is in need of personal empowerment to move beyond circumstances caused by domestic violence into a fully realized state of independence and sustainability Beacon of Hope is here for you!

CONTACT OUR ADVOCACY TEAM

Beacon of Hope Crisis Center works directly with clients needing services for domestic violence and sexual assault.

Many of our clients are not needing placement in a shelter and many do need placement in shelter. We can help you get out of your immediate crisis. We are not a shelter but can assist clients with emergency shelter placement and we provide a well-rounded grouping of services to help clients reach individual empowerment and goals.

We also work collaboratively with domestic violence shelters and other agencies to assist their clients with services and programs to achieve the overall collective goal of self-sufficiency for survivors.
