๐Ÿ’œ Surviving intimate partner abuse is a traumat ๐Ÿ’œ Surviving intimate partner abuse is a traumatic experience and it helps to have a safe place to talk about it. Our support groups offer safe, caring spaces so you don't have to heal alone. 

We host groups at our emergency shelter for residents and in the community in Georgetown, Stanford, and Frankfort. Online meetings are also available. Some focus on shared survivor experiences, while others explore specific topics like co-parenting or spiritual care. 

Call our hotline at 800-544-2022 or find more information at the link in bio.
๐Ÿšจ A nationally recognized Lethality Assessment ๐Ÿšจ A nationally recognized Lethality Assessment Program is expanding to Kentucky, thanks to leadership by @zerovkentucky and @merrymanhouse.

This evidenced-based strategy developed by the @mnadv reduces intimate partner homicides and serious injuries.

Equal partnership between victim service providers and law enforcement is a cornerstone of the program and the @scottcountysheriff and @frankfortpolicedepartmentky have signed on.

The program equips these law enforcement offices with 11 screening questions to help identify victims at the highest risk of being killed by an intimate partner. When high risk is indicated, officers immediately call the GreenHouse17 crisis hotline from the scene.

Survivors will speak directly with an advocate about safety planning and available services.

โ€œThis program is proven to save lives,โ€ says Darlene Thomas, our executive director. โ€œWeโ€™re grateful for the partnership of law enforcement and sister organizations to bring the first Lethality Assessment Program to central Kentucky.โ€ ๐Ÿ’œ
