Christian Domestic Violence Support

I have a friend in the Dallas area who is looking for support as she works through a divorce with severe domestic violence involved. She needs someone to help her through the legal side of things and would prefer a Christian organization. Does anyone have any recommendations?

She can look in the phone book under government agencies. There are usually domestic violence agencies in there. Being funded by the government, I'm not sure that she will find a Christian group. She could also talk to a pastor or someone with connections through a church. Good Luck!

have her contact her local domestic violence shelter and groups. ask for referrals -

the courthouses have a group called "Project Safeguard" and she can start there.

but with domestic violence issues - try to get her into counseling ASAP because this a rough road to travel.

Christian groups which openly deal with DV issues unfortunately seem to be rare to find.

GOD Bless

Yes...Google and search engines are a powerful thing.

The Catholic Charities can give you numbers or http://catholiccharities.com/

A local Church/clergy can help.

Now, the law is not based on religion....it is the law no matter the denomination and/or full throttle or lack of faith.

If she qualifies for legal aide, that should be good for the legal side and she can contact the local women's shelter for more resources.

I live in Dallas and long ago, I contacted the United Way and they pointed me to the right direction as I also went to my parish to get some spiritual guidance.

Ultimately, the homework has to be done by the friend as a way to gain strength and do what must be done.

I will pray for your friend but, it is time to design an exit plan.

most baptist churches will have divorce support groups she just has to find one in that area. Sorry if she were around me I would tell her.

The domestic violence is a whole other issue she needs to contact her states Aid to Victims of domestic Violence.

Rest assured, she is seeking the help she needs and is currently far away from the situation. It's just looking for a good supportive lawyer or legal counsel to help her through the divorce proceedings.
