"I am a male victim of domestic violence. Response has been responsible for my care and therapy, they have 'been there' for me. Every single event I have encountered: in therapy, in -court, in every day life; these dedicated professionals have gone to bat for me. By phone and in person they have been pillars of strength and wisdom for me. I count on them. They continue to guide me on my journey to personal awareness; educate and enlightened me regarding safety plans, personal issues, and hard choices I have to make in the wake of this personal catastrophe. My one -on -one therapy sessions continue to shine light upon self -discovery and behavior. I believe Response to be the best answer to domestic violence questions/issues. I am grateful for the sanctuary Response has provided for me to talk about it. I can't do this without their help. Answered questions are the antidote...the World is a better place because of the people who work at Response. I personally recommend them."

"It's hard to put into words exactly what Response did for me...which was really to help me get my life and freedom back. I will always be grateful. Without the support of Response, I would not have been able to leave the abusive relationship. Response gave me the emotional support I needed to get through the roughest time in my life thus far. She helped me find counseling services and walked me through every step of receiving an order of protection. I am now able to share my story with others and educate high school and college students on the issue of teen dating violence through the school based program Response participates in."
