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.

Today, on #TillieBlackBearDay, we honor the life, leadership, and continuing legacy of Tillie Black Bear (Sicangu Lakota), also known as Wa Wokiye Win, “Woman Who Helps Everyone.”💜

Tillie trailblazed a movement grounded in traditional teachings, the leadership of Native women, and a vision of safety that extended to generations yet to come.

Those generations to come? That’s us.

Her work continues through advocates, Tribal Nations, programs, survivors, and communities, carrying this movement forward today. As we begin #DVAM2026, her teachings challenge us to ask: What will it take to create lasting safety for Native women and communities?
