About Turning Pointe Survivor Advocacy Center

Providing shelter and services for victims of domestic violence (DV) including women, children, men and family pets since 2000

With 56 beds Turning Pointe operates one of the largest domestic violence shelters in the state.  Our shelter was built in 2008 and is unique in that we allow clients to bring their pets to the shelter. This is especially important because victims of domestic violence often stay in an abusive home because they are not willing to leave their pets with the abuser.

Thank you for calming me down and listening. I have been living with this violence for over 10 years and have never told anyone. You made my heart smile today. Thank you for caring.

Thanks for listening and believing me. No one wants to believe men are victims or that men need help, but we do.

How we help

We make a difference in the lives of people going through a very traumatic time.

TURNING POINTE’S
ADOPT-A-ROOM PROGRAM

Be a part of making our shelter rooms warm and welcoming for the women, men and children that come to us seeking safety.

Families often times come to us with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. When they finally are able to enter their room, we want them to feel welcomed and cared for. 

Contact Courtney@turningpointe.org for more information on how YOU can support our Shelter.

Cards By Survivors

 Purchase cards with art created by the youth and families supported by the center.

Set of 6 – 5×7 blank cards, includes envelopes
$12 plus $5 for shipping

This summer, we were planning a family art night to offer families impacted by domestic and sexual violence an opportunity to have fun, connect, and create together. We provided some food and a variety of art projects for youth and families. One of the art projects that families could participate in was this Cards by Survivors project. If survivors wanted to, they could create a piece of art and submit it to be used for this project. Then, several submissions were chosen to be made into cards that we could sell to donors in the community.

Advocacy. Awareness. Education.

#MissionMonday "As I was giving a tour to a new volunteer, a client stopped us to say how deeply grateful she was. She shared that her new motto is ‘too blessed to be stressed' and that 'one of the advocates is even watching my dog right now so I can finally take a shower. Thank you so much for everything you all are doing!' Hearing positive feedback about our services and the level of comfort they feel staying here truly warms my heart." - Courtney, Community Engagement Specialist

#MidweekMention A special shout-out to Our Community Credit Union for adopting MULTIPLE rooms at the shelter. Each item was carefully thought out and gathered during an annual All Staff Day as a way to team build and give back to the community. OURCU has been a loyal supporter in a variety of ways: event sponsorship, auction donations, meals during the kitchen remodel, and other generous donations, we can always count on them. To the OURCU team, thank you for your kindness and support. It's businesses like yours that help our community thrive.

The sun may be shining today but the cold weather is still among us. With that being said, our Belfair office is collecting coats, gloves, hats and scarves until March 22nd. Please see details below and contact Adria to arrange drop off. Thank you in advance for supporting Turning Pointe and Cielo!

#MissionMonday Our Youth Advocate shared: "We have two youths in our center who have earned a "Team Leader Certificate" for demonstrating compassion, self-advocacy, and respect for others. One often comes into the younger youth groups and is a peer mentor for the other children. The other has also earned this certificate by demonstrating the same positive behaviors. These two have made a mark on the hearts of many staff and others they have come in contact with so this is a wonderful way to honor their hard work."

#SpotlightSaturday recognizes Business Manager Julia for her versatility and ability to take on multiple roles and responsibilities at Turning Pointe. She started in the finance department and now has taken on the role of "handywoman" to ensure shelter operations run smoothly. Julia, Whether it's stepping up to take on additional tasks, providing valuable insights during brainstorming sessions, or effortlessly adapting to new challenges, your dedication and hard work shine through in everything you do. Let's give a round of applause to Julia! 👏

#MidweekMention Yesterday, Becky and Courtney had the pleasure of attending an event hosted by the Puyallup Tribal Council and Charity Trust Board. They presented Turning Pointe with a $20,000 check for shelter operations. When Becky received the news she had tears of joy. This is the second year we have received support from the Puyallup Tribe and we are forever grateful. They truly are generous and welcoming to all people! #puyalluptribe
