We must insist on being a community where the most vulnerable among us can find hope, safe haven, and support—not only to escape violence, but to rise above their pasts and rebuild their lives.

Holiday Hours

The Friendship Center's offices will be closed to in-person visitors Monday, January 20.

You can always reach an advocate through our 24-hour crisis line, and we'll be back open to visitors Tuesday, January 21.

Our Services

We serve those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in Lewis and Clark, Broadwater, and Jefferson counties. If you or someone you know needs help, we have a team of advocates who can assist you with a variety of services.
