SOUJOURN SERVICES FOR BATTERED WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN includes SAFEHOME mail forwarding program and TRACIE TEEN HELP

Founded in 1977, all services are free of charge and includes services for the Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendering, and Gay communities. We know some of you are afraid to become homeless by leaving an abusive home, and we know some of you are homeless and are being abused by street boyfriends or men who live in the same shelter you do and are not getting the help of any case managers. We know some of you are getting beat up by other women.

24 hour hotline (310) 264-6644

PHYSICAL ABUSE IS JUST ONE ASPECT. COERCIVE CONTROL, MANIPULATION, STALKING, and EMOTIONAL ABUSE hurt too, if not more. Abusive people, wherever you know them, are often jealous, controlling, overly critical, and want to isolate you from support. "DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HAPPENS IN THE LESBIAN COMMUNITY AS OFTEN AS IN STRAIGHT COMMUNITY. It doesn't stop because you are pregnant.
