Domestic Violence:
Domestic
violence is abuse that happens between members of a family or people
involved in a close relationship such as a husband and wife, boyfriend
and girlfriend, parent and child, and adult children and elderly
parents.
Domestic Violence includes physical assault, emotional abuse and sexual abuse.
Once abuse starts, it gets worse and more frequent over time.
Every 15 second in America, a woman is beaten by her husband or boyfriend.
We can even help with finding legal, medical, housing, and childcare (no cost).

For over
20 years Oak Ridge has had a place where women and children were placed in a
confidential shelter in times of need from Domestic Violence. The Battered Shelter is one of those few confidential location still left. Located
in Anderson County, we serve an eight-county area (Anderson, Campbell,
Knox, Loudon, Morgan, Roane, Scott, Union).
A large help comes from the community and residents of the communities we serve. Recently it has been made public that some of out funding sources and the affiliation with the YWCA has been with drawn. We want to thank those who have continued to show their support for the services we provide.
For those that may be questioning if we are still here, this is what we have to say at this time...

Domestic Violence has not stopped and Neither have we. Though we have temporarily changed our name to the The Battered Shelter of Oak Ridge Tennessee we are not stopping to serve those who truly need us the most.
