Sollera Sollera offers crisis intervention, advocacy, counseling, and education to all affected by DV/SA.

Sollera provides comprehensive services to victims of domestic/dating violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, trafficking/sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse in eastern North Dakota and west central Minnesota. We are committed to transforming our community’s response to violence and abuse to ensure healing for those who have been victimized and personal safety for all. Sollera was founded in 1977 when two local agencies – WomanAbuse, serving battered women, and the Rape Crisis Center, serving victims of sexual violence – merged to become Rape and Abuse Crisis Center and provide comprehensive, accessible services. In 2026, the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center name was retired and the agency is now Sollera. We are proud to be one of the earliest violence intervention centers in North Dakota and Minnesota.

“They’ve never hit me.”

That doesn’t mean what’s happening is okay. Domestic violence can include threats, humiliation, isolation, financial control, sexual pressure, and monitoring someone’s phone or location.

You don’t have to wait for physical violence or even have the right words for what you’re experiencing to ask for support.

If someone opens up to you, believe them. Listen without judgment and let them guide what comes next.

Whether you’re concerned about your own relationship or someone you love, Sollera is here.

Call 701-293-7273 or 1-800-344-7273 anytime for free, confidential support.

Leaving or escaping an abusive relationship is a complex process that depends on many external factors and a victim-survivor's perceptions of their choices and consequences.

Instead of asking "Why do they stay?", ask "What do they need to leave?"

Factors that can impact a person's ability to escape an abusive relationship:
💜 Support from family, friends, neighbors
🏠 Availability at a domestic violence shelter or other safe place
⚖ Being believed by police, prosecutors, and judges
⭐The acknowledgement, understanding, and support of doctors, psychologists, religious advisors, social service workers, and children's school/teachers
👉Access to advocates who can help with obtaining protection orders and other assistance
💲Access to money, bank accounts, and/or financial information to support themselves and their family without the abuser
🚨Perhaps most importantly, institutional enforcement that ensures the abuser will leave them alone after they leave, like enforcing protection orders, laws, and other legal orders

To access our Certified Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocates, contact us at 701-293-7273 or 1-800-344-7273 or visit us at 415 4th St N, Fargo Monday-Friday between 8a-5p.

A big thank you to this group of Rasmussen nursing students. They helped with projects around our office and created healing stones with words of affirmation for the people who walk through our doors.

We’re grateful for their helping hands and for the discussion we got to have about how nursing and Sollera's work intersect in supporting people who have experienced domestic and/or sexual violence.

We recognize recent news coverage may bring up difficult, harmful emotions for victim-survivors. We encourage everyone to give themselves permission to step away from content that feels overwhelming and to prioritize their well-being.

We also want to acknowledge a broader concern about how violence against women is increasingly sensationalized and consumed as entertainment. When violence is packaged for public consumption, the real people, lasting impacts, and humanity behind these stories can become lost. This constant exposure can affect our mental health, reinforce harmful narratives, and contribute to a culture in which violence is normalized rather than meaningfully addressed.

Violence is not entertainment. Victim-survivors are not stories to be consumed. We can seek understanding and accountability while remaining mindful of the dignity, privacy, and humanity of those impacted.

If you are struggling with what you are seeing or hearing: you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate these feelings on your own. Our hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for free, confidential support. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out.

Please take care of yourself and one another. ❤️
