New Beginnings Est. 1991
Empowering survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault throughout Belknap County, New Hampshire.
☎️ 24-Hour Support Line: 1-866-841-6247

We are committed to confronting Domestic and Sexual Violence and Stalking by:

1. Providing direct services and support to victims of violence.

2. Educating survivors about the choices they have.

3. Educating the community about the history, causes, and methods of confronting domestic and sexual violence. We acknowledge and support the right of each victim/survivor to make their own decisions in their own time and in their own way. We value and respect each victim/survivor for their own lived experiences. Lastly, we come to this work offering our strength to women seeking assistance. Although many of us working to end such violence are women, we encourage the assistance and participation of all who join in this struggle. Domestic and Sexual Violence is not a woman’s issue, but is ultimately a human rights issue. We build on our experiences to help and empower each other to make a difference for us all. New Beginnings does not discriminate based on gender, age, race, health status (including HIV-positive), physical, mental or emotional ability, sexual orientation, gender identity/ expression, socioeconomic class, national origin, immigration status, or religious or political affiliation. All services are free & confidential.
