Our Impact

Domestic abuse, or domestic violence, is a pattern of controlling behavior in the context of a current or former relationship when one person uses intimidating, threatening, harmful, or harassing behavior designed to create fear in the victim.

Caring Unlimited offers individualized safety planning services to anyone impacted by domestic abuse; supporting thousands of individuals each year throughout York County through a number of programs offered free of charge and accessible 24 hours a day.

In addition, Caring Unlimited is committed to changing the conditions which allow domestic abuse and violence to persist. Through collaboration, education, training, and consultation, we work with our community to bring an end to domestic violence.
