“[Turning Point is] a great place, especially for women survivors of dv. It has given me a lot of support and confidence. Whenever I get a chance, I join support group. Not because I have to, but whenever I participate, I get confidence, new energy, and hope.”

“Going to Turning Point physically made me think in a different way. This [was] a 28 year old marriage that I left. It isn't easy. I’m happy to come across Turning Point. I felt from the first day that this was not only a comfortable place, but there is hope for me and my family. I'm not out of line, [or] incorrect like my abuser told me. [My counselor] said I am on the right track. It gave me the courage to leave. It's on your terms and your time, [they] said. I got confidence.”
