Abuse Alternatives

Mission Statement

Abuse Alternatives is committed to providing quality services through direct support and advocacy to the victims of domestic violence with the goal of eliminating the pattern of abusive behaviors from the lives of those individuals and their families. It is the philosophy of Abuse Alternatives that all humans have the right to live violent free lives, free from abuse and the threats of abuse. Abuse Alternatives recognizes that violence within intimate relationships consists of use of force, or threat, to achieve and maintain control over others. We also acknowledge that physical, verbal, and sexual violence are violations of basic human rights and therefore are committed to initiate and support changes in social systems and attitudes through service and education. Abuse Alternatives, Inc is a non-profit corporation that provides services regardless of gender, race, national origin, education, age, ability, sexual orientation, class or religioius preference.
