CARING HOUSE
WELCOMES YOU
Domestic violence and sexual assault survivors in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern Wisconsin have the opportunity to learn how trauma has impacted their life, explore resources and evaluate their options.
We’re providing services in a non-judgmental and supportive manner to survivors as they make decisions for their life. We treat others with dignity and respect and provide them with the support necessary to reestablish their sense of well-being. At the same time, the agency advocates for change in the larger society to eliminate bias and to enhance the ability of all individuals to be capable and accomplished members of society. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a measurable difference in the lives of others!
The community play room in our safety shelter is a space made just for the children. We want every survivor to feel welcomed and comfortable here, especially the little ones. In the playroom we have beanbag chairs, stuffed animals, books, toys, and a small television. There is also a fenced-in play set with slides and monkey bars right outside. There's always enough for the kids to do, and this can create a fun and happy space for caregivers to connect with their child.
Our beautifully remodeled community living room provides survivors with this homey and comfortable setting to wind-down or watch television. Our advocates are always nearby to lend a helping hand. This area in the shelter includes a t.v., electric fireplace, washer and dryer, and cozy furniture to snuggle up on. Survivors can be assured they are entering a temporary home, not just an empty space for them to sleep.
Caring House services are all-inclusive, so you will not be turned away if you are married. We are not here to tell you to leave your relationship. We are here to be your safe haven to go to when you just need someone to be there. We are a safe shelter, we are someone to talk to, and we are here for you no matter what you believe you deserve. Our services are available to any victim or survivor of domestic violence or sexual assault. Come and have a cup of coffee with one of our advocates!

WHAT DOES AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP LOOK LIKE?
It takes a lot of courage to face the fact that you are involved with a partner who abuses you. And it takes even more courage to seek help. Remember that nobody deserves to be abused.
