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.

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.
Today is Denim Day 2024 👖 "Denim Day is a campaign in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where an assault conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who assaulted her remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim...As the longest-running sexual violence prevention and education campaign in history, Denim Day asks community members, elected officials, businesses, and students to make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence." (denimday.org) Fun fact: the photo in the bottom right corner is Caley in her jean jacket she made in high school! She's been advocating for others since she was a teen 💜 Please share your Denim Day photos in the comments. #denimday2024 #sexualassaultawarenessmonth
#MissionMonday highlights an inspiring story from our Housing Advocate, Jaiden: "A past client called to update us on her success. We helped her relocate to a different state, using Angel Flights (an amazing resource for DV survivors trying to relocate) she let us know she is in transitional housing where she can stay up to 2 years, in that time they help her find a job, got her kids enrolled in school, save money for a vehicle and help with financial goals. She thanked Turning Pointe for all our help!"
