For many in rural communities, escaping violence isn’t as simple as leaving home. Survivors may be miles from the nearest shelter or advocacy services, lack access to reliable transportation, or fear being recognized when seeking help in a small-town setting. Limited internet access can make reaching out for support even more difficult. These
barriers can leave survivors feeling trapped. That’s why CVIC is committed to expanding services that meet survivors where they are—through mobile advocacy, therapy, and strong partnerships with local schools, law enforcement, and health care providers.
Explore this special newsletter featuring the experiences of rural survivors and the services that support them, made possible by generous donors like you.
