  • 24/7 Crisis Intervention & Helpline Support

  • Emergency Shelter for survivors and their children

  • Safety Planning & Legal Advocacy

  • Support Groups & Counseling

By attending or supporting the Mountain Grrl Experience, you are directly contributing to life-saving resources and helping build a safer, stronger community for survivors.

“I am a survivor of and advocate against domestic abuse and I owe so much appreciation and acknowledgement to Mountain Grrl and the organizations they support for my success. This time last year I was worried about being homeless. I have 3 children under 6 and ended up in SouthEastern Kentucky trying to find a place for us to live. Through Turning Point Domestic Violence Services I was connected with organizations that helped me find a house. Without Turning Point my children and I would have been another sad statistic, with the already unimaginable domestic violence statistics in Kentucky and the immense lack of shelters and resources, events like this desperately need to stay alive, well, and visible to as many people as they can reach, to keep offering hope.”

With proceeds from the 2022 event, The Mountain Girl Experience raised $3,000.00 in funds to donate to the Perry Cline WestCare Emergency Shelter in Pikeville, KY and Turning Point Domestic Violence Services in Prestonsburg, Kentucky.

“The monetary gift from the Mountain Girl Experience is being used to purchase art and craft supplies, pottery classes and to purchase tickets to local music events. Turning Point is grateful for the chance to make these purchases and enrich the lives of the people we serve."...Connie Little, Executive Director, Turning Point
