Support a Woman in Her Healing

Led by Dr. Debra Wingfield and Joy Forrest, our advocacy course offers nearly 100 hours of instruction on understanding the dynamics of coercive control through a biblical lens. Classes cover prevention, intervention, and healing the trauma women and children experience from abuse.

Women impacted by domestic abuse are often fearful and unsure of how to proceed with the multitude of issues they face (i.e. court challenges, finances, safety, housing, parenting challenges, etc.); they may feel too overwhelmed to navigate these challenges. Called to Peace Ministries (CTPM) provides faith-based, confidential advocacy support services to women facing these complex issues.

  • Advocates assist survivors by guiding them through the intricate matters they face. They connect survivors to resources and tools to help them explore their options in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
  • Advocates further serve survivors as mentors through active listening, offering support, education, and encouragement.
  • Advocates can work with churches, counselors, and other people helpers to create a plan that will provide long-term support for survivors and their children.

As a CTPM affiliated advocate, you can additionally serve on our Church Partnership team.

Advocacy Testimonials

“My advocate helped me through my legal proceedings, and even sat in court with me when I was afraid to go alone. It gave me the strength to speak up, knowing someone was there who understood what I had experienced, someone who knew I wasn’t crazy — someone who believed in me.”

Survivor

“CTPM advocates aid survivors by allowing them to take the lead in their lives while equipping them to discover their strengths and voice to regain a sense of power over their life. When working together, an advocate assists the survivor through education and providing options to support the survivor’s goals and her children’s needs.”
