Amazing staff and volunteers doing as much as they possibly can as the only domestic violence agency in Buncombe County. Speaking to Helpmate makes such a difference when you are surrounded by police and overwhelmed as well as the courtroom office which was much needed and made everything a little less terrifying. I am forever thankful for the work they do and always going above and beyond and genuinely caring for each survivor/ case. I don't know where I'd be without them <3

Call the hot line during the week. If you call during the weekend often it is a volunteer trained for the hot line. Go in during the week. I would not be writing this review today without helpmate. Thank you for saving my life.

My life changing experiences with Helpmate taught me how to motivate myself and make my way through legal channels to escape DV.

I want to thank you all at Helpmate, forever in your gratitude!

Even with overcrowding, underfunding, and legal hurdles, these people go out of their way to suppor... read more

Awful experience told me in the office so we've given you all the help we can give you out of the few things they had done like who says that didn't have any other ways to help I was going to a different organization and because they did some things for me prior said we actually just did everything we could do for you here you don't say that to anyone who is dealing with domestic violence you never want to deter someone from calling in the future because it is life and death then as I'm trying to file the grievance they just... read more
