SHELTER PROGRAMS | Turningpoint

Adult Programs

Shelter

Turning Point provides victims/survivors of domestic violence and their children with safe, secure, temporary shelter in a comfortable atmosphere located in Marion and Delaware Counties. When possible, families are provided with their own rooms with a bathroom, while areas such as the living room, dining room, and kitchen are shared. The shelters each have a fully equipped kitchen and a nicely stocked pantry to provide for families' nutritional needs. For families forced to travel lightly in order to escape the abuse, Turning Point has access to donated clothing and Goodwill vouchers. Transportation to the shelter for families in danger can be arranged with local law enforcement for their safety. Transportation during shelter stay is available on a limited basis.

Support Groups

When you are dealing with domestic violence, it can often feel like you are all alone. Friends and family may not understand or be supportive of your decisions. Turning Point offers community-based support groups.

What can you expect from Turning Point support groups?

Support groups are "kitchen table" style, with one facilitator, the Resident Coordinator.
The average size of a group is anywhere from 5 to 15 participants, and last for about an hour.
Please dress comfortably, some of the activities are hands on and may include the use of arts and crafts.
Any other questions you may have can be answered by a Resident Coordinator.
