Clients come to Turning Point’s secure emergency shelter in crisis. When a victim decides to flee a domestic violence situation, they enter the most dangerous phase of the relationship because the abuser has lost the feeling of control. For this reason, Turning Point has additional security features in place beyond what other shelters typically provide.
