Between Friends is dedicated to preventing domestic violence and ending the cycle of abuse by equipping our communities with the tools necessary for everyone to feel safe and equal in their relationships. To break the cycle of domestic violence, we offer crisis intervention and support services for survivors and their children that include a 24-hour crisis line, court advocacy, and counseling.
