Client Spotlight

Tara was just 16 when she left home to move in with her older boyfriend, with whom she was expecting a child. When he became violent in front of their baby and the child was taken away by child protective services, she felt that she had lost the only thing she had worth living for. But Tara wasn't going to give up. Through support group and individual counseling at Day One she was able to identify the pattern of power and control that her partner held over her, as well as learn about some of the warning signs of abuse that abusive partners exhibit.  After 9 months of counseling and parenting classes, Tara was able to get her son back and now lives an independent life free from abuse.
