Johnson County Safe Haven is a community based organization providing emergency, temporary shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children. We also provide food, clothing, safe housing, and a 24-hour hotline.
Domestic violence can be defined using a dictionary; however, in American society it is defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors used by one individual intended to exert power and control over another individual in the context of an intimate relationship. Domestic violence is maintained by societal and cultural attitudes, institutions and laws, which are not consistent in naming this violence as wrong.
