We exist to empower survivors of domestic violence

What We Do

Thrive empowers victims of domestic violence to find healing, strength and freedom on their journey from victim to victor. By sharing life with them and loving them, we enable survivors to find their true identity and overcome the lies of their abuser; helping them to realize that they can do more than just survive; they can Thrive!
