After moving to New York City, she thought she had left domestic violence behind. But, her partner in New York City also became verbally and physically abusive. The abuse escalated when he attacked her in front of her two young children. But Mimi\u2019s daughter intervened by jumping on his back.\r\n\r\nAfter the incident Mimi decided to call the authorities and they referred her to Safe Horizon\u2019s Community Program in Brooklyn. Through her work with the Community Program, Mimi could find a way to break free from the abuse and begin to heal.\r\n<h2>How Safe Horizon Helped Mimi Overcome Verbal and Mental Abuse<\/h2>\r\nSafe Horizon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/community-programs\/\">Community Programs<\/a> serve all five boroughs of New York City. Services for victims of domestic violence and other crimes include3:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Crisis Intervention and Case Management<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Practical\/Emergency Assistance<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Information, Referrals and Advocacy<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Individual Counseling and access to Support Groups<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Kimmi-Herring-director-of-Safe-Horizon-Manhattan-Bronx-Community-Program.png\" alt=\"Kimmi-Herring-director-of-Safe-Horizon-Manhattan-Bronx-Community-Program\" width=\"600\" height=\"551\" \/>\r\n\r\nAt the Brooklyn Community Program Mimi met someone who would change her life forever; the Director of the Brooklyn Community Program, Kimmi Herring.\r\n\r\nKimmi helped Mimi understand that the violence and abuse she experienced in her relationships was not her fault. She provided support and counseling so Mimi could overcome the many harmful effects of abuse that lingered. \u201c<em>There was more pain from the emotional, mental abuse than the physical, <\/em>\u201d Mimi explains. \u201c<em>Bruises heal, but the verbal and mental abuse is what I needed to break free from.<\/em>\u00a0<em>Kimmi helped me with that tremendously.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\nKimmi introduced Mimi to other Safe Horizon resources that could help her. Because Mimi was legally married to her partner in New York City, Kimmi connected Mimi to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/our-services\/legal-and-court-help\/domestic-violence-law-project\/\">Domestic Violence Law Project<\/a> (DVLP). The legal staff at DVLP helped Mimi obtain an Order of Protection to address her safety concerns. They also helped represent Mimi throughout the divorce process in court.\r\n\r\nMimi was living in the United States on a temporary travel visa, so Kimmi connected her to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/our-services\/legal-and-court-help\/immigration-law-project\/\">Immigration Law Project<\/a> (ILP), which helps undocumented victims of crime and abuse and their families with their legal status.\u00a0ILP helped Mimi and her daughter file for and obtain their green cards.\r\n\r\nWith Safe Horizon\u2019s help, Mimi continues to work towards overcoming the abuse she suffered. Mimi\u2019s renewed confidence in herself helped motivate her to go to school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and continue to pursue a career as a Medical Assistant. Mimi is still in contact with Kimmi for ongoing support and she is working towards becoming a member of our Speakers Bureau so she can tell her story and advocate for other survivors.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1360 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1443125851_Mimi-PTNII.jpg\" alt=\"Mimi's Story: Overcoming Verbal and Mental Abuse\" width=\"733\" height=\"393\" \/>\r\n<h2>How You Can Help People like Mimi<\/h2>\r\nYou can help make a difference by participating in our #PutTheNailinIt campaign to end domestic violence.
