New Horizons Mission

New Horizons Shelter and Women’s Center provides safety and services to adults and families who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and harassment so that they can make decisions about their lives in a supportive, nonjudgmental and empowering atmosphere.  We promote the concepts of non-violence and equality through intervention, prevention and education.


 

"It is very tempting to take the side of the perpetrator. All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing. He appeals to the universal desire to see, hear and speak no evil. The victim, on the contrary, asks the bystander to share the burden of pain. The victim demands action, engagement and remembering." -- Judy Herman

Please remember to give to the United Way!  New Horizons is an agency that receives funds from the United Way.  Without the community giving to New Horizons and United Way, we would not be able to help as many victims of domestic violence.
