It is not only the victim that is affected by the violence but also:
โ€ข Children who witness the violence
โ€ข Family, friends & neighbors
โ€ข Workplaces, businesses & healthcare providers
โ€ข Churches & places of worship
โ€ข Human service providers & law enforcement
โ€ข Our community

Last year, InCourage provided face-to-face service to over 300 individuals who experienced domestic violence and sexual assault. Hundreds more called our 24-hour crisis hotline. The cost of one nightโ€™s stay at the shelter is $43 or $2,580 for a family of three for one month. The average length of stay for a victim is 46 nights. As we all know, everyday costs continue to increase and providing assistance to victims does as well.
