Domestic violence can be a serious health problem.

Domestic violence is not the victim's fault.

Domestic violence is often misunderstood or minimized by our society. In reality, it's happening in our community to the people we know and love. Similarly to mental health, you cannot always see how someone is doing in their relationship. For example, posts on social media show 'perfect' relationships and families when victims are barely surviving day to day. For anyone impacted by domestic violence, consider talking to someone about your experiences. You don't have to go through this alone. Confidential Crisis Line: (317) 731-6140

Why make a recurring gift? Each month we continue to serve victims with ongoing needs and every day we connect with new victims needing our services. Domestic violence is severe and pervasive. Continued support of our agency will help us adapt to meet the needs of our community. No one expects to experience abuse and no one deserves to be harmed by their partner or family member. When it happens, we are here to help.

Explore Volunteer & Intern Opportunities with Beacon of Hope Crisis Center

We are currently seeking volunteers with daytime availability to assist our team with fielding incoming crisis calls and connecting victims to advocates. If you have a passion for helping others, a calm demeanor in stressful situations, and are capable of detailed note taking we'd love to hear from you! If assisting victims directly is not for you, we also have volunteer opportunities to help our agency with social media, awareness projects, fundraisers, events, and more!
