About Us

The mission of the Abused Adult Resource Center is to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault by establishing and maintaining a program which will provide temporary shelter, crisis intervention, prevention, education, support and hope as a vision to eliminate violence.

The Abused Adult Resource Center (AARC) has been helping survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault for more than 40 years. Serving south central North Dakota, we provide emergency support, crisis intervention, temporary shelter, food, counseling, and advocacy to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

Our goal is to help our clients and their families find hope through a life free from abuse. We also enjoy working with our communities to create an awareness and sensitivity to domestic violence and sexual assault issues, establishing programs that aim to break the cycle of abuse.

“Stranglers want their victims to know that they have complete control over whether their victims live or die.” —Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention

Strangulation is a serious and immediate warning sign for a potential homicide. It’s one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence and can make you lose consciousness within 5-10 seconds.

If a victim is strangled even one time, she is 750% more likely to be killed by her partner. If she is lucky to survive, she has most likely suffered some internal injury and/or short and long-term health consequences.

If you or someone you know has been strangled by an intimate partner, you may be in immediate danger. Call us. We can help: 1-866-341-7009
