Survivors' Stories
“Taking classes at A Better Way with Ms. Anita are a safe space that have helped me heal, learn about boundaries, healthy relationships, and stay safe moving forward in life after all I’ve experienced. It has been such a helpful guide to becoming a survivor. I always come back with more to learn and gain each time.”

Survivors' Stories
"I have been in a domestic violence class in A Better Way for about a year now. My experience has been great. I was recommended to take this class by my therapist after coming from a domestic violence marriage. I am still in the process of my divorce and custody battle, but these classes have helped build my confidence. I know now I matter, and I have a voice. This class taught me how to set boundaries in all my relationships. I feel safe when I am in class with other people who have gone through the same experiences. The facilitator is a great teacher; she gives much information and shares her testimonies. I will continue to take this class cause it is helping in my everyday life, and soon, I will be taking the other courses offered, Parenting and Anger Management, to improve myself in every aspect. I will recommend this class to anyone who has been through these experiences. It will help you improve like it helped and continues to help me."
