Our mission is to assist survivors and their children in learning to overcome the cycle of physical, sexual, mental, and emotional abuse. 

We do this by providing a 24/7 hotline, emergency shelter, court & general advocacy, safety planning, economic empowerment, counseling, occupational therapy, substance use advocacy, and resource education.

We respond to requests for services from across the region, with a core service area of Franklin, Gasconade, Lincoln, Montgomery, St. Charles, St. Louis, and Warren counties. Each year more than 700 women and children seek assistance from Turning Point. We shelter more than 100 women and 60 children annually and provide support services for many more through community-based programs.

We operate on grants and donations to provide shelter and support services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, stalking, human trafficking, and related homelessness, and their children. The State of Missouri offers a 70% tax credit for donations that are a minimum of $100. Turning Point will provide all necessary documentation. Please reach out to Wende at 636-456-1186 or office@turningpointdvs.com for more information. 

If you’re experiencing domestic violence or sexual abuse, we are here to help.
