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.

Leaving or escaping an abusive relationship is not an event. It’s a complex process that depends on many external factors and a victim’s perceptions of choices and consequences.
Instead of asking, “Why do they stay in that relationship?” ask, “What do they need to leave?”
Some factors that can help a person escape an abusive relationship:
💟 Support from family members, friends, and neighbors
🏠 Availability at a domestic violence shelter or other safe space
⚖️ Being believed by police, prosecutors, and judges
🌟 The acknowledgement, understanding, and support of doctors, psychologists, religious advisors, social service workers, and children’s school/teachers
🤝 Access to advocates who can help with obtaining protection orders and other assistance
💵 Access to money, bank accounts, and/or financial information to support themselves and their family without the abuser
🚨 Perhaps most importantly, institutional enforcement that ensures the abuser will leave them alone after they leave, like enforcing protection orders, laws, and other legal orders
