Our Mission

SOAR is a resource and referral center that empowers survivors of abusive relationships to seek safety and rise above trauma and abuse.

• • An abusive relationship involves a pattern of controlling and abusive behavior by one partner in an intimate relationship with the intent of establishing dominance and control over the other.
    
    
  • Abusive relationships do not always involve physical harm or injury. The abuse may be emotional, verbal, psychological, or a combination, and it often worsens over time.
    
    
  • While the majority of victims are women and children, abuse can occur in any relationship — regardless of gender, age, race, economic or social status, educational level, or sexual orientation.

Our Mission is to guide people in emotionally and physically abusive relationships to find safety and rise above the trauma and abuse.
