NEW STARTS WOMEN’S SHELTER
Provides safe, secure shelter to women and their children who have experienced violence. We recognize and respect the strength of each woman, and offer a supportive, non judgmental setting where a woman can consider all her options to make informed decisions for herself. We recognize the specific and distinct needs of children from violent homes.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE
It happens to many women, of all income & educational levels, in all social classes, of all religious and ethnic groups. An abuser learned to use violence as a way of expressing anger or frustration long before they met you.
IGNORING THE VIOLENCE IS DANGEROUS
The first sign of violence should be considered a danger signal. It is very likely it will happen again. The violence usually gets more frequent and severe.

Presently, we are a ten bed facility with four bedrooms. Women and their children may stay for up to six weeks. During that time we assist women to make decisions and plans as to what they would like to do with their lives. Due to housing shortages in Red Lake, families stay longer than six weeks at times while they await housing.
