Violence Free Minnesota recently shared the the "Rooted in Community: Survivor Defined Safety Through Culturally Responsive Practices" report.

https://www.vfmn.org/reports

This report answers the question: “What might domestic violence response, support, and services look like if we listened to the survivors most often left out of the conversation?”

VFMN partnered with culturally specific advocacy programs across Minnesota to conduct focus groups with survivors of domestic violence from diverse communities. Survivors shared their experiences with abuse, barriers to seeking safety, and the interventions they believe could have made a difference.
While each community identified unique challenges shaped by culture, history, and systemic inequities, common themes emerged across groups, including the need for safe and affordable housing, flexible financial assistance, culturally specific advocacy services, healthy relationship education, community-based intervention options, and improved responses from systems such as law enforcement, schools, and employers.
The findings underscore the importance of investing in survivor-centered, culturally responsive approaches that recognize the diverse realities of survivors and expand pathways to safety, healing, accountability, and long-term well-being.

The constancy of the parent-child relationship is key to a child’s sense of security, feelings of self-worth, and development. Yet, many children today are deeply and adversely affected by lack of quality contact with a parent due to situations out of their control, including divorce, separation or family violence and abuse.
Someplace Safe Parenting Time Centers (PTC) play a crucial role in facilitating safe and healthy parent-child interactions, promoting consistency, and offering support to families in need. PTC services include:

Supervised visits and exchanges
Scheduling assistance
Virtual and Zoom visits
Nurturing Parenting classes
