ALIVE's mission is to provide counseling, emergency sanctuary and other critical services to adults and children impacted by domestic abuse, as well as to increase awareness in order to create a supportive community. ALIVE's vision is to end domestic abuse, restoring safety and peace one family at a time. ALIVE (Alternatives to Living in Violent Environments) was incorporated in 1985 and with great determination and vision ALIVE prospered into a full-service domestic violence agency. Today's Nights of Safety program remains true to the founders' original concept of providing temporary emergency sanctuary when all domestic violence shelter beds are full. ALIVE's additional services include: a 24-hour crisis line, emergency transportation, individual and group adult counseling, children's treatment program, court advocacy, and outreach and community education.
