As a domestic violence survivor, I spent five years in both private and group therapy to understand what I had been through, identify ways in which I could avoid future abuse, and improve my self-image, as well as understand my PTSD and work through it . I was taken care of so well, and I was supported through many situations. The Family place were counselors and advocates to me in a time of great need and I will always be grateful to them for helping me and my family.
