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.

If you feel like you have no control over your financial life, you may be experiencing financial abuse.

Financial abuse (sometimes called economic abuse) is when your partner uses money or finances to exert power and control over you. It includes behaviors like:

🏢 Preventing you from getting a job or limiting the hours you can work
🔥 Getting you fired or trying to get you fired
🙏 Making you ask or beg for money
💵 Taking or hiding money or assets
🔐 Controlling your bank accounts or checkbook
🔎 Giving you an “allowance,” or closely monitoring how you spend money
💳 Running up debt or ruining your credit
🚗 Preventing you from going to work by taking your car, keys, or other mode of transportation

If you’re experiencing financial abuse, you can find free and confidential support near you at nddsvc.org/find-help
