Ron Turner interviews Daniel Den Boer, Director of Operations for Family Crisis Centers serving 17 counties in northwest Iowa, aiding survivors of abuse through mobile advocacy, rapid rehousing, legal and medical support, bilingual services, and prevention programs. Rural survivors face unique challenges, including isolation, limited resources, and housing shortages. The center partners with law enforcement, healthcare providers, and schools to raise awareness, provide safe visitation spaces, and break generational cycles of abuse. Their work focuses on safety planning, empowerment, and long-term stability, helping individuals and families rebuild while fostering stronger, more resilient communities. (familycrisiscenters.org)
