The Exit Strategy™

Breaking Free. Healing Completely. Living Fearlessly.

Program Overview

The Exit Strategy™ is Crowns Rise's signature domestic violence recovery and empowerment program. Created by Tina Marie from her own journey of surviving domestic violence, this program was designed to help survivors not only leave abusive relationships but also build the confidence, stability, and support systems needed to never return.

Leaving an abusive relationship is only the beginning. True freedom comes through healing, education, financial empowerment, emotional restoration, and rebuilding every area of life.

The Exit Strategy™ combines lived experience, education, practical resources, and community support to help survivors reclaim their identity and create a future free from abuse.

Our Mission

To educate, empower, and equip survivors of domestic violence with the tools, resources, and support needed to safely exit abusive relationships, heal from trauma, rebuild their lives, and achieve lasting independence.

 

Why This Program Matters

Domestic violence affects millions of individuals every year regardless of age, race, income, education, gender, or background. Many survivors remain in abusive relationships because of financial dependence, fear, emotional manipulation, lack of housing, concern for their children, or limited access to resources.

The Exit Strategy™ was created to help break those barriers by providing education, practical support, and a pathway toward long-term stability.

 

Understanding Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is more than physical abuse. It can include:

  • Physical Abuse

  • Emotional Abuse

  • Psychological Abuse

  • Verbal Abuse

  • Sexual Abuse

  • Financial Abuse

  • Digital Abuse

  • Stalking

  • Coercive Control

  • Isolation

  • Intimidation

  • Threats

Education is one of the first steps toward recognizing unhealthy relationships and understanding available options.

Our twelve-step framework is designed to help survivors move from crisis to confidence.

The program focuses on:
