A SURVIVORS STORY
(Real names omitted for protection of the client) As a result of domestic violence, Survivor "A" came to Family Haven after sustaining broken bones and severe head injuries from her fiancé. She was in denial about the abuse she suffered and faced many barriers regarding employment, housing, mental health as well as legal issues. While residing at Family Haven, Survivor A engaged herself with supportive services including counseling, overcoming the denial of her abuse as well as her barriers. She secured employment with the Atlanta Public School System and obtained permanent housing to begin her new life free of abuse.
FACTS

domestic violence in her lifetime.
