SELAH is a place where individuals experiencing domestic abuse can be heard and understood while finding help for the next step of their journey.
My passion for starting SELAH was born out of my own personal experience with domestic abuse. I know firsthand the destruction, confusion, and fear that domestic abuse brings. It may surprise you to know that 1 in 4 women experience some form of domestic abuse in their lifetime. Women from every walk of life find themselves in abusive relationships.
Women who find themselves in abusive relationships often don’t know where to go for help. They feel very alone. It’s my desire for SELAH to be a safe place for each woman to share her experience and receive the help and support she needs.
Educational groups will teach and equip members to find clarity and direction in their life and relationships.
Groups are open to victims, survivors, family members, or women who simply want to learn more about this issue.
Topics Covered:
Power and Control
Characteristics of Abusers
Effects on Children
Self-Esteem
Emotional & Verbal Abuse
Patterns of Abuse
Faith Issues
Legal Issues
Financial Issues

When faced with an abusive relationship, individuals often feel isolated and need to be connected with resources in the community. Several local agencies are designed to give direction to individuals through their journey to a healthier life.
Education can be powerful. Understanding the dynamics of domestic abuse helps to validate your feelings and empowers you to see that positive change is possible.
SELAH can provide you with educational materials (books, handouts, etc) to help you grow in your understanding of problems and possible solutions.
Telling your story and finding a listening ear can make a huge impact on those who have been isolated and overwhelmed by domestic abuse.
SELAH offers individuals the opportunity to find clarity by processing their experience with a supportive staff member.
