Truth and Hope
I started coming to Selah last year. I had been in a very destructive relationship for over 18 years. It was so bad that twice I needed to leave my home for safety reasons. After seeking help from both a domestic violence shelter and a counselor, I ended up being referred to Selah. Selah educated me […]
Emotionally Exhausted
I was emotionally drained and exhausted when I found the Selah group. I remember listening to one of the coordinators discuss the power/control wheel and a light bulb went on in my head.

Fearful and Silent
I came to SELAH after going to five different counselors trying to figure out what was happening to me in my marriage. A friend of mine suggested I attend SELAH. Without really knowing what to expect, I showed up and talked to one of the directors who shared some resources with me and invited me […]
