Physical violence does not always mean physical contact. Punching walls, breaking objects, hurting other people or animals, even the threat of a physical act are all examples of physical violence. Remember, an abuser will do whatever they can to gain power and control.
If you believe you or a friend/family member/neighbor are being abused in any way, please call our 24/7 help line at 815-338-8081. An advocate is always available to speak to you.

It's #TurningPointTuesday! Let's talk about our victims' services ⬇️
As the only comprehensive domestic violence agency in McHenry County, we have a wide range of services available to those affected by domestic violence in our community.
Our secure emergency shelter, which can house up to 21 adults and children, is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The shelter is open to all members of our community affected by violence regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or ability.
The same goes for our 24/7 help line, which can be reached at 815-338-8081. Our advocates are available to help you with a variety of needs from securing shelter, scheduling counseling, and even referrals to other programs in the area.
One-on-one counseling and support groups are available to adults, teens, and children at our main office in Woodstock. Our amazing team of counselors and therapists are available for morning and evening appointments Monday - Thursday, and morning appointments on Fridays. Individual counseling services are offered in person, over the phone, and via video.
At our secondary location inside the McHenry County Courthouse, we have legal advocates available Monday - Friday 9am to 4pm. These advocates will guide you to the available legal resources in the community, as well as help with the process of filing an order of protection.
Turning Point is here to help you break free from the cycle and give you the tools to live a life free from violence and fear. We are just a phone call away 💜
