As fellow survivors of domestic violence, we want you to know that you’re not alone.
Help, support, and healing are available for you when you’re ready. The Family Peace Center is here to meet you exactly where you are, offer resources and options for you and your children, and help you create a plan for healing that makes sense for you.
We want to encourage you to take time to care for yourself through this journey. You are worthy of love, respect, and healing.
Sincerely,
The Sojourner VOICES network
Healing matters because you matter. Your safety, wellness and THRIVING matter.
Healing is also a way to build resilience and strength exactly where we are right now. It helps us respond safely and effectively to challenges that come our way.
You deserve care, support and healing — no matter what you’ve gone through.
There are all sorts of ways to heal and care for yourself, with numerous options and resources available through the Family Peace Center whenever you’re ready.
For more information or to get connected to any of the services listed below, please call our 24/7 hotline at (414) 933-2722.
Working with a therapist can be a powerful way to heal trauma, deepen resilience, and process your experience. We have therapy services available at the Family Peace Center for adults and children who have experienced violence, abuse, and trauma.
We can do a lot of healing individually, but we can also heal in community with others. In support group settings, survivors gather to share their experiences, support each other, and heal together.
VOICES is a network of survivors and thrivers who use their voices to share stories of hope, healing, courage and strength.
The VOICES mission is to demonstrate the strength and resilience of survivors by raising awareness and providing education to the community. As they heal together, they share their stories so fellow survivors know they’re not alone.
Trauma lives in our bodies (whether or not we experienced any physical injury), so healing modalities like massage, acupuncture, reiki, yoga, meditation, and movement can help heal our bodies and restore our energy. A variety of services are available at the Family Peace Center or in the community.
Having someone in your corner to support you on this journey can make a big difference. At the Family Peace Center, we have Advocates who can help you make a plan to stay safe, connect you with services, go with you to court, talk through options, help you set and reach your goals, and support you along the way.
Sojourner is the most comprehensive provider of domestic violence prevention and intervention services in Wisconsin.
Our 53-bed shelter provides safety and stability for survivors of domestic violence. On-site Advocates walk with survivors on their journey of healing and rebuilding their lives.
We offer support to survivors as they file police reports and restraining orders and connect them with needed services and resources.
Within our innovative Family Peace Center building, survivors can easily access legal, healthcare and social services provided by 13 community partners, including the Milwaukee Police Department, Children’s Wisconsin and Milwaukee Public Schools — all located together under one roof.
Sojourner has been designated the 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline for the City of Milwaukee and outlying communities since 1986. Staff and volunteers speak directly with victims from the scene of domestic violence incidents investigated by the Milwaukee Police Department and 18 suburban police departments in situations that are subsequently reviewed for criminal charges by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office.
Advocates working our 24-Hour Domestic Violence Hotline and Textline offer information and support, and can help survivors of all ages. All conversations are confidential.
