WHAT WE DO

Sarah’s Inn was founded in 1980 by a group of concerned women in River Forest and Oak Park, to address a lack of services for victims of domestic violence and their families. The agency has since grown to become one of the largest and most comprehensive domestic violence agencies serving Chicago and 22 surrounding West Cook County suburban communities.

I’m not ready to end the relationship or to move

I’m not ready to end the relationship or to move out, so why should I call Sarah’s Inn?

When you call the Sarah’s Inn crisis line, a staff member or trained volunteer will make sure you (and your children) are safe, listen to your experience, and find out how Sarah’s Inn can help.

If you are ready, you can schedule an initial meeting with a Sarah’s Inn advocate. Once you meet with your advocate, they will be able to create a plan to support you. This could include a safety plan, emotional support, resources, short term advocacy, or learning more about counseling options.

Oftentimes, isolation is a means of control and beginning to work with an advocate is a way of disrupting that sense of isolation and to begin to find connection again.

So even if you are not ready to end the relationship or to move out, call Sarah’s Inn at 708-386-4225 to begin getting the support and resources you need.

Sarah's Inn grieves with the family and friends of Oak Park Police Detective Allan Reddins who was tragically killed in the line of duty on Friday, November 29, 2024. For over forty years, Sarah’s Inn has partnered with the Oak Park Police Department as we work to end the cycle of violence. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and our colleagues and friends at the Oak Park Police Department during this difficult time. It is a heartbreaking loss for our community.
