About Us
The mission of the Abused Adult Resource Center is to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault by establishing and maintaining a program which will provide temporary shelter, crisis intervention, prevention, education, support and hope as a vision to eliminate violence.
The Abused Adult Resource Center (AARC) has been helping survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault for more than 40 years. Serving south central North Dakota, we provide emergency support, crisis intervention, temporary shelter, food, counseling, and advocacy to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Our goal is to help our clients and their families find hope through a life free from abuse. We also enjoy working with our communities to create an awareness and sensitivity to domestic violence and sexual assault issues, establishing programs that aim to break the cycle of abuse.

Children living in households affected by domestic violence may develop a distorted understanding of relationships.
While some children may choose to avoid abusive behavior in their own relationships as they mature, others may repeat the patterns of abuse they witnessed with their peers or partners.
🚹Research shows that boys who have experienced domestic violence are more likely to engage in abusive behavior towards their future partners and children. They might internalize the belief that manipulating someone or resorting to violence is acceptable behavior.
🚺 Girls who have experienced domestic violence are more likely to become victims of dating or domestic violence in their teen and adult years. They may mistakenly associate hurtful behavior with emotional intimacy or love.
Domestic violence affects generations of families, and we must break the cycle. You can help support children experiencing domestic violence in our community by, learning about domestic violence, engaging in conversations with teens about healthy relationships, supporting a family member or friend who may be experiencing domestic violence and discussing any ways they might accept help for themselves or their children, lastly you can support our work with survivors and their children by donating to AARC – every bit helps!
