Although My Sister's Place is primarily known for being a shelter, we acknowledge the range of experiences affecting victims of domestic violence and recognize that shelter may not be the right answer for everyone. Some people experience violence at home but, for various reasons, decide they are not ready to leave the relationship. Others find that even after they leave, they continue to struggle with the effects of abuse. My Sister's Place has licensed counselors available to meet with you outside of the shelter setting. Meeting sites are confidential and if you are in Hocking or Vinton County, we can come to your home community.
