S.H.A.R.E. House, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing crisis intervention and a continuum of care to combat the causes and effects of family violence. For over 32 years, we have stood as a pillar of support for women, children, and men affected by domestic violence.Expanding Our Reach: Since 2014, weve expanded our services to the Douglas and Paulding County communities. Notably, we opened a satellite office in Paulding County in 2018 and launched a Youth/Teen Center in 2019 to address the unique needs of younger individuals impacted by domestic violence.Emergency Shelter and Crisis Line: Our primary service is the provision of a 24-hour emergency shelter for women and children escaping domestic violence. We also offer safe housing for male victims and operate a 24/7 crisis line managed by trained advocates.Legal Advocacy and Representation: Victims seeking to escape violent relationships can access our legal advocacy services, which include assistance with obtaining Temporary Protective Orders (TPOs), completing paperwork, and providing emotional support during court proceedings. In 2018, we enhanced this support by adding an attorney to our staff to offer legal representation through the TPO process.Support Groups and Case Management: We conduct weekly support groups for adults and children, focusing on trauma and education about family violence. Our comprehensive case management employs Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based therapies to help victims navigate and overcome service gaps and barriers.The Teen Center Program: Recognizing the profound impact of domestic violence on children, our Teen Center Program fosters a safe and nurturing environment, empowering youth to heal and thrive despite past adversity.Extended Housing Programs: Beyond emergency shelter, we provide Transitional Housing and Rapid Rehousing Programs. These initiatives offer financial support to assist victims and their families in achieving self-sufficiency and independence from their abusers, with program durations ranging from three to twenty-four months. Additional Services: Our commitment extends to offering Trauma Counseling, Transportation, Financial Assistance, Relocation, Parenting Classes, and Life Skills Training. All services at S.H.A.R.E.
