Every day, thousands of children are court-ordered into unsupervised contact with abusers. Survivors must secure the safety of their children amidst structural barriers that enable abusers to perpetuate abusive acts in systemic ways. Intentionally and unintentionally, a lack of education for professionals working with survivors and children, poor policy that enables institutional abuse, and a lack of support for survivors navigating custody evaluations and court proceedings produce poor outcomes.

Survivor Resource Group is strategic in its mission to improve outcomes for survivors and children through wraparound support during custody evaluations and family court proceedings. We organize evidence, draft narratives, and coach survivors throughout the evaluation process. In addition, we work with attorneys and experts on ways to present coercive control in court especially where financial and litigation abuse are present. Finally, we seek to educate family court professionals, attorneys, and other agencies on how coercive control and domestic abuse impact children.
