Synopsis

"Leaving an abusive situation is the most challenging step a survivor can take. Siri Lagerl�v honors that bravery by providing the essential foundation for emotional and physical safety. This guide gives survivors the necessary tools to navigate the system, making them feel less like victims and more like conscious creators of their new life. Refuge Ready is an empowering, vital roadmap to reclaiming control and starting the journey to healing and to finally start a life where they can be authentically themselves."

~ Amy Thurman, Author of two New York Times best-sellers, “Finding My Hero Within” and “Polish the Mirror: Self-Discovery”

Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of entering a women's shelter? You are not alone, and help is here.

Entering a shelter is the bravest step you can take toward a new life. But for many, the fear of the unknown can be the hardest part. You deserve to know what to expect and how to prepare.

Refuge Ready (US Edition) is a compassionate, practical guide that takes the fear out of the unknown. Written by an author with a unique perspective as both a domestic abuse survivor and a former refuge/shelter support worker, this book answers the questions you have and the ones you don’t even know to ask yet. (This edition is fully localised for the US system, covering benefits, housing, and legal specifics.)

This essential guide will show you how to:

Prepare for Your Journey: Find essential checklists for packing, preparing your children, and securing your documents.

Find Your Community: Learn how to connect with other women and family workers who are there to help you on your healing journey.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
