RESOURCES

Principle #1: We value the human spirit.

We fight violence against the human spirit
and promote true love and intimacy:
which our spirits crave.

One way we fight violence against the human spirit is by providing resources for women that will aid them in healing from a past or current abusive or controlling relationship. Fortunately, there are more resources than listed below: we list resources that SOUL has close experience with. These resources have proven to release a woman from the binds of violence against her heart, mind, and spirit caused by someone who is supposed to love her: someone who instead has broken her heart over and over, caused her mind to be confused and manipulated, and battered her self-worth and meaning for existence.
