Rachel Coalition provides services to assist victims of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and individuals living in high conflict relationships.

We improve the lives of those most affected by abuse – the victims, their children, and their families. Our domestic violence professionals provide guidance, support, and safe alternatives through counseling and legal services.

Domestic violence does not discriminate. It touches everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, religion, socioeconomic status, or education. Domestic violence affects us all.
