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.

It’s nice when a partner is interested in your life. But when that interest turns into them constantly monitoring you and making you feel like you can’t do or say anything without them knowing, a line has been crossed.

If your partner insists on having access to your phone, your location, your social media accounts, and your conversations with other people, you may be in an unhealthy or abusive relationship. An abusive partner may accuse you of lying, cheating, or keeping secrets if you deny them this information, but having privacy and boundaries is not the same as keeping secrets in a relationship.

In a healthy relationship, you and your partner are respectful and trusting to one another. You enjoy spending time together, but you can be happy apart, and you don’t need constant monitoring to keep that trust and respect going.
