Resilience: Advocates for Ending Violence (Resilience) advocates for ending domestic and sexual violence and offers supportive services for victims in Ottowa and Allegan counties, Michigan. As a member of  Investing in Communities®, Resilience can receive funding from the real estate transactions of its supporters, at no cost to the supporter or to the organization. Already, they have received $2,865, and the more supporters that use this free platform before engaging a real estate agent, the more resources they have.  

Resilience was formerly known as The Center for Women in Transition, but their mission has remained the same since 1977: ending domestic and sexual violence. Their new brand was introduced to better reflect the diverse clientele they serve and the growing list of programs and services they offer. Though women make up the majority of their clients, they also serve men. Resilience supports their clients with programs and services such as: Case Management and Legal Advocacy, Therapy and Counseling, Children’s Services, Safe Housing, the Wardrobe for Work Program, and education and awareness programs for men and youth. 

Case Management and Legal Advocacy

Victims of sexual assault over the age of 13 have access to professional, sensitive, and forensic medical exams at any time of the day or night. Additionally, their clients have access to:

  • Support Groups;
  • Legal Advocacy; and
  • One-on-one Case Management.

Therapy and Counseling

For both adult and teen survivors of sexual and domestic violence, Resilience provides therapy and counseling services from Master’s level counselors. Both individual and group therapy is offered with the goals of: 

  • Reducing trauma symptoms;
  • Fostering good coping behaviors; and
  • Promoting a sense of safety.

Children’s Services

Trauma can severely inhibit a child’s development. Resilience understands how important it is to start processing trauma and developing healing strategies at a young age. Therapy is available to children, as well as free childcare for parents attending support groups or taking advantage of other Resilience services.

Safe Housing

A lack of affordable housing options should never prevent a victim from leaving a violent environment. For clients facing homelessness, who have nowhere to go, or are afraid of being stalked, Resilience offers safe and confidential housing options. 

Wardrobe for Work Program

A huge step towards healing for many clients is finding gainful employment. The Wardrobe for Work Program supplies women in transition with the clothes needed for their job or to make a good impression in an interview. 

Outreach to Men and Youth

One out of every six men have been victims of sexual violence. Engaging Men is a multi-prong approach to help heal and prevent sexual violence against men:

  • Education – Know the statistics and how to effectively intervene in a violent situation; 
  • Role Models – Allies who can stand alongside young men and lead by example in order to promote healthy behavior and break the cycle of violence that so easily perpetuates from one generation to the next;
  • Engaging Youth – Engaging teachers, coaches, and students at K-12 schools in order to combat domestic and sexual violence as early as possible; and
  • Consultation for Colleges – How to establish healthy prevention programs on college campuses and to educate college communities appropriately.
