Unearth Together
Domestic Violence Services
Healing & Accountability for All
Zelia takes a new approach to domestic violence intervention — one that goes beyond crisis response and punishment. Rooted in the latest trauma research and the science of human development, our model recognizes that violence often stems from unhealed wounds.
What is wounded can be healed — and healing, together with accountability, is the true pathway out of cycles of harm.
What Makes Us Different
We use one integrated framework — the same philosophy, language, and practices — across staff, survivors, and harm-doers. This creates consistency, authenticity, and transformation at every level: individual, organizational, and community.
Our Vision
Safe, connected communities where healing and accountability are shared human practices — lived by staff, embraced by participants, and sustained in community life.
Our Approach:
For survivors
Unearth the roots of your own pain, free yourself from shame, and step into empowered healing and wholeness.
For those who have caused harm
Unearth the roots of your behaviors, face their impact with courage, and walk the path of accountability and change.
For professionals & organizations
Deepen your capacity to hold both harm and humanity. Learn to recognize the roots of behavior, meet each story with compassion and accountability, and model the healing you invite in others.
Organizational support including Healing Centered Practice training for DV organizations working with survivors, those who have caused harm, or both.
