About In Courage
The Manitowoc County Domestic Violence Center (D.B.A In Courage) is a non-profit organization providing supportive responses to people in the Manitowoc County area who are experiencing violence in their lives. Abuse is neither justified nor acceptable under any circumstances.
Abuse can take on many forms including: Physical, Verbal, Sexual and Emotional. Abuse is not simply physical harm. It is any pattern of controlling behavior. For many survivors, abuse can have a long lasting effect that can be damaging and devastating if left untreated. Realizing that domestic violence has been a way of life for many families for a long time, we seek to break the cycle of family destruction. For that reason, we dedicated our agency to the belief that ”No one deserves to be abused.”
In Courage Crisis Line, Shelter, Support
In support of our belief, we offer a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week crisis line (920-684-5770), a shelter home for women and their children; supportive counseling services; support groups; financial, legal, and medical advocacy; community education programs; child care; emergency transportation; follow-up services.
One of our most important services is to provide support in a warm, friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere. Each person has the right to decide their next step. Therefore, we provide information and options for people to make their own decisions.

Think Safety First!
The Manitowoc County Health Department has reflective vests available for just $5.00. Pick one up at 1028 S 9th Street, Manitowoc. (While supplies last.)
Even the most conscientious drivers benefit from seeing pedestrians and cyclists at a distance. Wearing a reflective safety vest while walking, jogging or biking is a great way to ensure motorists can see you clearly. And wearing a safety vest when changing a tire is an excellent way to protect yourself from passing traffic. Keeping a reflective vest in your car’s emergency kit is a smart way to keep yourself safe!
