Serenity House has a dedicated team working around the clock to ensure the safety and support of those we serve.  The shelter is a 14-bed facility that provides temporary, emergency shelter to those escaping domestic violence.  Additional services provided by Serenity House include: advocacy services, case management services, assistance finding sustainable employment, assistance finding safe housing, transportation, temporary protective orders, and much more.  “Our goal at Serenity House is to help those who reach out to us realize they do not have to go back to an abusive situation” states Clark.  The staff members at the shelter work diligently to ensure those who come to us for help leave with the ability to be self-sufficient individuals living in a safe environment.

 

Haley Clark would like to personally thank those on staff who work tirelessly at the shelter, the Board of Directors for all their support, and the local community for the donations that allow us to fulfill our mission at Serenity House.

]]> Signs of an Abusive Relationship https://serenityhousega.org/signs-of-an-abusive-relationship Mon, 15 Jul 2019 07:42:38 +0000 http://www.nicdarkthemes.com/themes/charity/wp/demo/charity/?p=227 There are many signs of an abusive relationship, and a fear of your partner is the most telling. If you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around them—constantly watching what you say and do in order to avoid a blow-up—chances are your relationship is unhealthy and abusive. Other signs include a partner who belittles you or tries to control you, and feelings of self-loathing, helplessness, and desperation.

To determine whether your relationship is abusive, answer the questions below. The more “yes” answers, the more likely it is that you’re in an abusive relationship.
 

  • Your inner thoughts and feelings
Do you:

  • feel afraid of your partner much of the time?
  • avoid certain topics out of fear of angering your partner?
  • feel that you can’t do anything right for your partner?
  • believe that you deserve to be hurt or mistreated?
  • wonder if you’re the one who is crazy?
  • feel emotionally numb or helpless?
 

  • Your partner’s belittling behavior
Does your partner:

  • humiliate or yell at you?
  • criticize you and put you down?
  • treat you so badly that you’re embarrassed for your friends or family to see?
  • ignore or put down your opinions or accomplishments?
  • blame you for their own abusive behavior?
  • see you as property or a sex object, rather than as a person?
 

  • Your partner’s violent behavior or threats
Does your partner:

  • have a bad and unpredictable temper?
  • hurt you, or threaten to hurt or kill you?
  • threaten to take your children away or harm them?
  • threaten to commit suicide if you leave?
  • force you to have sex?
  • destroy your belongings?
 

  • Your partner’s controlling behavior
Does your partner:

  • act excessively jealous and possessive?
  • control where you go or what you do?
  • keep you from seeing your friends or family?
  • limit your access to money, the phone, or the car?
  • constantly check up on you?

Do you feel like you may be in an abusive relationship?
