The Exchange Club has been one of the main resources that has helped educate me & keep me from going back to a domestic violence relationship.
I was married to an abuser for 17 years. I tried to leave lots of times even going into hiding & almost getting divorced once. I got into church , got my relationship with God back I was also in Counsling & I went back again. When I was asked why I didn't go back this time. I am now divorced & have been out of the abuse for 2 years. When my mom asked me what's different this time? It's the education & support I have received from the Exchange club. I have learned what domestic violence is how it works & how to stay out!
They have helped me in so many ways from the support group (which is also set up for your children & age appropriate )Counsling, they do supervised visitation for the children & so much more. The advise & recourses they supply are just what I have needed every step of the way!
I recommend them to every one I come across who is in need of their services & I have recommended them to many women & their children who now are also getting help & support !
I am just so very grateful for the Exchange Club & their wonderful amazing staff & volunteers!
