What makes a place truly dangerous?

It's not just the difficulty, place or event.

It's when someone has nowhere to turn. No place to reach out for help.
When there's no one to answer the phone.

Isolation is one of abuse's greatest weapons.

But in Utah County, you are never alone.

If you are experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault, help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Volunteer Opportunity: Hospital Response and Hotline Team Member

For those interested in volunteering with our Sexual Assault Hospital Response Team and Hotline, our 40-hour training begins this month.

This is an incredible opportunity to support survivors during some of the most difficult moments of their lives and make a meaningful difference in our community.

However, this role may not be the right fit for everyone. The training is thorough and covers difficult and sensitive topics related to sexual assault, domestic violence, trauma, and survivor experiences. Some of the material may be emotionally challenging or triggering for participants.

If you are interested in learning more or would like to volunteer, please contact Stephanie Heaps at [email protected].

We are grateful for everyone willing to step forward, learn, and be there for survivors when they need support most.

Come take a look through the renderings of a new place where survivors of domestic violence can find safety, healing, and hope.

As you walk through each room, imagine the lives that will be changed. Picture a child sleeping peacefully for the first time in months. A parent finding the support to start over. A survivor taking their first steps toward a future free from abuse.

This is more than a building.

It's a place where healing begins, hope is restored, and families can rebuild their lives.

When you give, you're not just helping to construct walls; you’re helping to create a life-changing future for survivors in our community and for generations to come.

Together, we're building more than a shelter.

We're building hope.

You can help build a safe place for families like Lyndsey's.

Domestic violence happens in our own community, and too many survivors are left without a safe place to go. Your support can change that.

By donating to help build our new shelter, you're creating a place where families can find safety, begin healing, and build a brighter future.

Every gift brings us one step closer to opening our doors to more survivors in need.

Donate today through the link in our bio. Together, we can build hope, safety, and healing.

A new chapter of hope is being built.
Our new campus will provide more than a building—it will provide safety, healing, and a fresh start for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. With expanded shelter space, therapy services, children's programming, and wraparound support all under one roof, more families will have the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

You can help make it possible.

Become a builder of safety. Become a builder of hope. Every donation brings us one step closer to opening our doors to more survivors in need.

Together, we can build a future where no family seeking safety is turned away.

Healing looks different for everyone, and you don't have to walk that journey alone.

At The Refuge Utah, we provide 24 free therapy sessions for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their families. Our trauma-informed therapists create a safe, supportive environment where you can heal at your own pace while learning tools and skills to help you move forward with confidence.

We offer a variety of evidence-based ther**eutic approaches, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and other trauma-informed therapies tailored to your individual needs.

Our goal is to empower you on your healing journey, helping you build resilience, strengthen healthy coping skills, and prepare for a future filled with hope, safety, and success.

Healing is possible, and we're here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Healthy relationships begin with education.

We're excited to introduce The Refuge Utah Prevention Team's new social media page—a place dedicated to empowering our community with the knowledge and tools to build healthy, respectful relationships.

Our Prevention Team teaches evidence-based healthy relationship curriculum in schools, with at-risk youth, adults, community groups, and correctional facilities. Through education on communication, boundaries, consent, respect, and recognizing unhealthy behaviors, we're helping prevent violence before it starts.

Follow our new page for relationship tips, educational resources, upcoming trainings, and practical tools to help build healthier relationships at every stage of life.

Together, we can create a community where healthy relationships thrive, and violence has no place.

Follow along and join us on the journey toward prevention. Also follow
The Relationship Roadmap! Come see what fun the prevention team has!
