We will be having our third annual “Walk A Mile In Our Shoes” event October 14, 2023 at our new family justice center location at 2230 Bryan Place in Midlothian. October is the national Domestic Abuse Awareness month and The Heights is a resource for domestic abuse victims to find safety and hope here in Ellis County. There are over 1000 reported cases of domestic abuse in our county each year and 30% of cases often go unreported each year. The Heights began serving clients in 2021 and is currently serving more than 540 women and children with homicide risk assessments, safety plans, and service plans. These plans include the following serves to our clients: counseling, spiritual direction, food, legal assistance, addiction recovery, court advocacy, pet services, medical care, job training, transitional housing, and shelter. Survivors of domestic abuse experience great challenges and suffering from the people who are supposed to love them the most. We hope you will make plans to join us as we make some time to walk a mile in honor of Ellis County victims and survivors of domestic abuse. Registration is free. Click the link below to register.
