Survivors Speak After Abuse

A deadly domestic violence incident in Sarpy County, where a woman was killed and a child survived, underscores the urgent need for support systems. Heartland Family Service reports a surge in cases, aided by a newly renovated facility ready to meet rising demand. Survivor Knihal now helps others escape abuse, while program director Dawn Conley warns that leaving an abuser is often the most dangerous moment — victims are seven times more likely to face injury or death afterward. Heartland offers free housing, therapy, and legal aid to turn victims into survivors, urging communities to listen to survivors’ stories to drive lasting change.
