Empowering you with knowledge
Our 2-hour classes on domestic violence offer crucial insights and strategies for recognizing, understanding, and escaping abusive situations. Knowledge is power in preventing and overcoming abuse.
Understanding the cycle of abuse
Learn to identify the early signs when the storm is brewing but hasn't quite landed yet. Our classes help you recognize the subtle indicators of escalating abuse.
Types of abuse and early exits
We explore the different types of abuse, help you understand that abuse is never about you, and develop an "early exit" game plan for safety and escape.
Our unique advantage: lived experience
What sets Shelter From a Storm apart is our foundation in real-life experience. As a domestic violence survivor, Victoria (Owner /Founder) brings an unparalleled depth of understanding and empathy to every interaction, making our support truly transformative.
Understanding every aspect
Having suffered abuse for over 12 years, Victoria understands every aspect of domestic violence—the subtle early signs, the profound after-effects, and the critical importance of an early exit plan.
Empowering self-love and worth
This cause is fueled by heart and soul. We aim to teach self-love, knowing your worth, and understanding that abuse is never your fault. Our mission is to empower others to rise above their circumstances.
