Promise Place was established in 1987 to provide assistance to victims of domestic violence and their children. While originally established to provide services in Fayette County, Promise Place answered the call for the need of assistance for victims throughout the Griffin Judicial Circuit.

Promise Place offers emergency shelter, 24 hour crisis hotline, crisis intervention, safety planning, legal advocacy, weekly support groups, children’s programs, emergency needs assistance, and community education.
