Turning Point

Trauma, including teen dating violence, can be a significant factor in unhealthy or harmful behavior. It is critical that young people who have experienced violence receive support and compassion.

Our 24-Hour Hotline is a great resource for young people who are looking for a confidential, accessible, and supportive resource to seek help or talk about their experiences.

Join us as community leaders perform in The Vagina Monologues in celebration of International Women’s Day. Tables and tickets can be purchased at turningpointmacomb.org

Right now, survivor families in shelter need new full-size body lotion, body wash, and deodorant. If you would like to help meet our current needs, email us at info@turningpointmacomb.org

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. In a single year, over 1.5 million teens experience physical violence at the hands of their dating partner. We encourage you to commit to learning more and raising awareness of teen dating violence this month and beyond.

If you are being stalked, one option that you might consider is filing a Personal Protection Order (PPO). Turning Point has advocates that are available to assist survivors of stalking with the necessary forms and e-filing, as well as providing resources and discuss safety.

While stalking looks different in every situation, it can be helpful to have an understanding of what tactics may be used. If someone tells you that they are being stalked, believe them and consider sharing Turning Point's 24-Hout Hotline number.

We are so grateful to the Elizabeth K. Galeana Charitable Foundation for the incredible updates to our shelter playroom! Thank you for creating a space where kids can be kids.

Labor trafficking is the use of force, fraud, or coercion to make someone provide labor or services. Turning Point provides support and services for people of any gender, age, or background who have experienced labor trafficking.

Our Central Office is closed today in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We encourage all to reflect and act on the ongoing efforts against injustice in all forms.

In the majority of human trafficking cases, the victim/survivor knows, trusts, and may even love the person trafficking them. This is rarely shown in the media, which tends to make people believe that human trafficking usually begins with a stranger abduction.

According to Michigan law (MCL 750.411h): "Stalking" means a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual.

Human trafficking has been a widely discussed issue in the media in recent years. We must use media literacy skills when we come across information about human trafficking because there is a lot of false information spread on this topic.

Both Stalking and Human Trafficking Awareness Months are recognized in January. Both of these issues are very real in our communities. Follow along this month as we shed some light on these two forms of violence.

Happy New Year from all of us here at Turning Point!

We are so grateful to all of the people and organizations that donated to support survivors through the holidays! We could not have made this happen without the time and effort given by our wonderful volunteers. Thank you!

Wishing you a bright and meaningful Kwanzaa!

Merry Christmas from Turning Point!

While our Central Office will be closed, our 24 Hour Hotline is always available! You can reach Turning Point any time at 586-463-6990.
