Need Help?
When you call Micah’s Place, an advocate will help you evaluate the degree of danger that exists in the relationship and help you prepare a safety plan to address your immediate need. Everything you say to us will remain entirely confidential.
Every member of our team wants to support and uplift you, and we are hear to listen without judgement. We recognize that sometimes it’s difficult to realize the danger you are in, because you’ve coped so well, for so long. However, it is vital that you call as soon as you suspect abuse so that you can come up with a safety plan to reduce the abuser’s opportunity to hurt you and your family.
