Yankton, SD
24/7 ​Crisis Line - 605-665-1448

Formerly River City Domestic Violence Center

For decades, victim services organizations operated quietly to protect the privacy and safety of survivors. While that discretion was necessary, it sometimes created distance and stigma. Some people hesitated to connect with us. Some survivors avoided reaching out because they feared being labeled.

​Our rebrand is about changing that.

This isn’t just a new name—it’s a new chapter. It reflects our belief that support should feel welcoming, empowering, and rooted in hope. We are stepping forward with openness and strength, creating a space where survivors and communities feel invited, not defined by fear.
​
We chose a name that represents guidance, direction, and light along the way. With this new chapter, and with our community beside us, we begin building the next fifty years of service—together.

Welcome to Waypost.

Find your way forward.

Our Mission

Empowering people on their path to safe and healthy relationships.​

Our Vision

We support individuals who are experiencing harm, control, or fear in their relationships by providing confidential advocacy, safe shelter, and practical resources. Our team walks alongside people as they navigate difficult circumstances, helping them find safety, stability, and renewed hope.
Many people who reach out to Waypost may not initially describe their experiences as abuse or violence. They may simply know that something in their relationship does not feel safe or healthy. Waypost meets people where they are, offering compassionate support and guidance without judgment.
Through survivor-centered services, education, and community partnerships, Waypost works to strengthen families, promote healthy relationships, and build communities where safety, respect, and dignity are possible for everyone.
