In an ongoing commitment to end abuse and provide advocacy to victims, the Minnesota-based organization Friends Against Abuse has become a lifeline for those affected by domestic abuse, general crime, and sexual assault. This dedicated organization believes that all people, irrespective of age, deserve respect and have the right to live free from harm. Open to the public in International Falls and Baudette, MN, Friends Against Abuse provides an array of services to victims and their families. Their offerings include a 24-hour phone service, which can be reached at 285-7220 or toll-free at 1-888-344-3264 in International Falls, and at 218-634-3233 in Baudette. This organization understands that victims often need help navigating community resources. To this end, they provide information and referral services. Those in need can call the above numbers to obtain information about available resources within their community. Through their advocacy services, Friends Against Abuse provides a caring and supportive atmosphere to help individuals find the best solutions to their problems. They offer public speaking engagements on various topics, including domestic abuse, sexual assault, bully prevention, safe touch/unsafe touch, healthy relationships, teen dating violence, and suicide prevention. In addition, they offer a specialized program called QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) for suicide prevention. This program teaches the warning signs of suicide and what to do if someone is having suicidal thoughts. They also provide assistance with the Safe at Home application, an address confidentiality program, and host a Parents Forever Course, an educational program designed to aid families in transition after separation or divorce. This course is offered quarterly at their office. Furthermore, Friends Against Abuse provides legal advocacy. However, they clarify that they are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice. In an effort to amplify the voices of victims, Friends Against Abuse has launched a podcast titled "Gone". The podcast aims to share the stories of murdered and missing people in the U.S and Canada from the people who know and love them, hoping to shine a light on the victims and draw attention to their cases. They believe that someone, somewhere, knows something, and this platform might be the key to uncovering new information. Located at 407 4th St in International Falls, MN 56649, Friends Against Abuse operates Monday through Friday, from 8:00am to 5:00pm. They can also be reached via email at [email protected]. Their Baudette office can be contacted at [email protected]. Friends Against Abuse is committed to providing services without discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and age. As they continue their important work, they remain a beacon of hope for victims and a vital advocate against abuse in the Minnesota community.
