EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE SAFE and free from fear and abuse

Everyone has the right to live free from fear and abuse. Domestic violence—also known as intimate partner violence—is a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviors used by adults or adolescents against a current or former partner. These behaviors may include intimidation, isolation, emotional abuse, financial control, coercion, and often physical or sexual violence.

It is the ongoing pattern of harm, rather than a single incident, that contributes to the trauma survivors experience. Healing from an abusive relationship takes time, and having support can make a critical difference in safety, hope, and recovery.

Hope & Safety Alliance is here to help you explore options and make decisions that are right for you.

You Are Not Alone

Intimate partner violence affects people of all ages, backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, and income levels. It is one of the most common—and least reported—crimes in the United States.

Whether you are seeking help for yourself or someone you care about, Hope & Safety Alliance can support you through crisis and beyond. Our advocates listen without judgment and help connect you to services such as emergency shelter, transportation, food and supplies, emotional support, and community referrals.

Hope starts with a conversation.

Safety Planning

You have the right to choose whether to stay in or leave a relationship. Whatever decision you make, safety planning can help reduce risk.

Some safety planning ideas include:

  • Stay near exits during conflicts; avoid kitchens, bathrooms, or areas with weapons

  • Practice safe ways to leave your home if needed

  • Ask a trusted neighbor to watch for signs of danger and call for help

  • Create a code word with children, friends, or family to signal when you need police assistance

Remember: You do not deserve to be hurt or threatened. You deserve safety and respect.

Legal Support: Restraining Orders

The process of obtaining a restraining order can feel overwhelming. Our advocates can help explain your options, assist with paperwork, and accompany you to Lane County Courthouse if desired. Restraining orders are free, and you do not need an attorney to file.

You may also request police assistance to retrieve personal belongings from your home.

Talk to Someone You Trust

In addition to professional support, trusted people in your life—friends, family members, clergy, teachers, healthcare providers, neighbors, or coworkers—can be important sources of encouragement and connection.
