This place is unbelievable and both discouraging and disheartening to say the least. My friend called to seek help from her abusive relationship, which by the way was a major first step for her to start. She has no family, friends or any kind of support other than her abusive fiancee. She stays there because her options are there or the street, period. She overcame her initial fears of even admitting her situation and seeking out for help and made contact with Zanett Ellington at the Tranquility House in Cartersville, GA. Ms. Ellington asked her several questions such as if she had kids and did she own a car. My friend replied that she had no children, no car and no money. Zanett proceeded to tell her that they had no beds available but would advocate for her and call other facilities. After about a week, my friend had to email her back to see what the results were and did she find any other resources. Finally, Ms. Ellington replied that she was sorry she never followed up and that she called 20 different places and none of them could help due to no beds available. This is by far the worst and most unacceptable situation I have ever seen. First of all, being a safehouse, one would think the very first question should be, "Are you safe right now"? Not only did Ms. Ellington care less of my friends safety status but failed to even get back to her and once questioned her reply was noone has beds. Sorry for your luck. Wow. That is so sad to see a facility shut someone down like that who finally had the courage to make the first step by admitting her situation. I believe that some people are in the wrong positions in organizations and actually have a huge negative impact overall which hurts everyone involved. I pray that God will intervene and actually help this person as well as others in desparate need.

Couldn’t have asked for anything more it was a blessing that god led me here to get the help I needed and away from my abuser the staff was always sweet and warm Looking for anything to help me improve such a blessing

I believe this place to be a scam. They have declined a very sweet girl who needed help because her mother was upset that she could not get in. They lied that they were threaten. They told this girl they had room then they called her back and said they did not. Then they told her it was not in her area of Cobb County but referred her to Calhoun. A total scam. I would not donate items to this organization they really do not want to help the ones that need it. It sounds like the ones working there need help. they turn an abused girl away and denied her in two locations because of her upset mother. Below is a picture if her boys that this Womens Shelter will not help due to a grandmothers stress because she does not want her daughter or grand children murdered .

The absolute WORST place to go out of desperation. The moment I came to this place, the director of the facility along with several members of her staff were HATEFUL. I was forced into a meeting were I was ridiculed and called a liar for trying to get out of a violent relationship. They control everything you do and take away all of your communication then force you to leave the property in order to use your phone (I understand this policy to a certain extent). I felt like I was better off where I came from. Don't get me started on their "dress code". DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT wear shorts while you are staying here because they will embarrass out in front of EVERYBODY and force you to change immediately. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU CAN! Please, for the love of God find another shelter that will have more compassion for you in your time of need.
