Glenna Phelps-Aurich, Executive Director of Logan County Chamber (not pictured) recently presented the Business of the Week award to Help For Abused Partners represented by Nicki Johnson, Mary Jo Tygart, Patricia Nash and Billie Meadows.
…Citizens Concerned For Battered Women was organized by visionaries who began this non-profit agency. Going forward several years, the name was changed to Help For Abused Partners. Help For Abused Partners was formed in 1982. A Board of Directors comprised of community members provides oversight for their agency.
…Help For Abused Partners (HFAP) is a non-profit agency formed exclusively to assist domestic violence victims and their children. They were originally a small crisis line network housing victims in community member’s homes prior to the donation of their emergency shelter.
…The shelter was donated in 1995 and was remodeled with community partnerships and donations. Beginning in 2019 and through 2022, they have received several generous TANF grants, and partnered with several local businesses to make numerous upgrades to the shelter.
…Their Mission: Help for Abused Partners is dedicated to the elimination of domestic violence in all its form through community education, comprehensive advocacy and the empowerment of victims and their children.
…Their Vision: confidential and comprehensive services for victims of domestic violence, governed by decision-makers who are sensitive and informed about the problem of domestic violence and are committed to creating change; professionals who work as allies in responding to those affected by intimate partner violence and a community of individuals who are empowered to make safe and healthy choices for themselves and their families.
…Their Values: Safety, respect, collaboration, equality, and hope.
HFAP is the only domestic violence program in the three-county area of Logan, Phillips, and Sedgwick Counties. Services that cover the 3 counties include a 24-7 crisis line, emergency shelter, court advocacy, safety planning, weekly support groups for women and children, case management, emergency food, clothing, and financial assistance.
…Their advocates offer community education and outreach presentations to clubs and organizations and teen dating violence presentations in area schools.
