A MESSAGE ABOUT DOMESTIC ABUSE
Do you ever feel like no one understands your situation? Maybe you think that you are the only one in your community. In your workplace. The fact is that one in four women in the U.S. will be abused by a partner they love and trust.
It may not be physical. Emotional abuse can be just as devastating. We can help. We won't tell you what to do. We will listen to you and discuss your options.
Call today for yourself or for someone you care about. The call is free and confidential.

While our name has changed, our mission remains the same: Hope's Door seeks to end domestic violence and to empower victims to achieve safety, independence and healing from the trauma of abuse.
Why the new name?
In 1980, the Junior League of Northern Westchester founded our organization, which provided safe haven for victims of domestic violence in the homes of local church members. Throughout the years, our services have expanded to better serve victims of domestic violence. We strongly feel that our new name better reflects this wider scope of our mission. We hope that our new name will encourage those seeking help for themselves or for those they care about to contact us. Whether you are a victim seeking hope and safety, or someone with abundant hope to share, please know that our door will always be open to you.
