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.

Survivor Story Sunday: Finding Safety and a New Beginning

Today, we want to share Luna’s story. Luna reached out to the Abused Adult Resource Center seeking safety for herself and her daughter. Living with a partner whose violence and intimidation were escalating, Luna knew she had to protect her daughter and herself. Despite never working with a domestic violence program before, Luna was familiar with abusive tactics through past counseling. She courageously built a safety plan, and with our support, she and her daughter found refuge at Pam’s House.

At our shelter, Luna was determined to rebuild. She continued working, her daughter stayed in school, and both began individual counseling to heal and regain strength. With the help of our housing advocate, Luna found permanent housing and started a new chapter free from fear. Luna and her daughter are now thriving as they create the safe, fulfilling life they deserve.

Luna's strength is a reminder of the courage it takes to seek help and start anew. We honor her journey and all survivors who take the steps towards healing and freedom. 💜 #SurvivorStorySunday #DomesticViolenceAwareness #AARCSupports
