A Safe Place When You Need It Most

CFI’s Domestic Violence Program provides safe emergency shelter to survivors and their dependent children. The only dedicated domestic violence shelter in Polk and Warren Counties. We help survivors address their immediate safety needs and provide support and resources so they can begin to rebuild their lives.

A therapist is available onsite at the shelter. Therapists play a crucial role in helping domestic violence survivors overcome the trauma and heal emotionally. They provide a safe and supportive environment where experiences can be shared without fear of judgment or retribution. Therapists help survivors to identify and understand the patterns of abuse, enhance coping and self-care strategies, and build self-esteem and confidence. Ultimately, therapists can play a key role in helping survivors rebuild their lives and move forward toward a safer and brighter future.
