Healing Abuse Working for Change

Since 1978, HAWC (Healing Abuse Working for Change) has provided lifesaving services to victims of domestic violence. In this room, victims voice their experiences of abuse and it becomes a sacred space. Our hope is to increase the beauty of this space with IKEA furniture.

“HAWC saved my family and me. Their direction and guidance gave us strength to move on and heal. They showed me I can be bigger, stronger, better, whatever I want to be. They taught me it’s ok to trust and that life gets better.”

Alex Knight, 22 years old and child survivor of domestic violence
