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.

Day 14 of #DVAM and today we want to look at lethality. These slides represent data from 2020-2024 (some published as recently as September 2026) that show how deadly Domestic Violence / Intimate Partner Violence can be for women. Supporting people in abusive relationships, and taking reports of abuse seriously is a life and death issue. Having a gun in the home increases a woman's chance of being murdered by an abusive partner.
It is important to note that these numbers are likely heavily under-reported because many federal statistics do not include ex-relationships in intimate partner violence data. Meaning that many women murdered by their ex-husband/boyfriend are not always accounted for in the data.
