When someone is living with abuse, it can be hard to see a way out.

Fear can become overwhelming. Isolation can make someone feel alone. Trauma can make it difficult to imagine a different future.

But you are not alone. And your current situation does not have to be your future. There is support. There is safety. There is a way forward.

This Su***de Prevention Month, let's remind the people around us that they don't have to carry their pain alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available:
📞 Crisis Center, Inc. Hotline: 205-323-7777

If you are experiencing domestic violence and need support, contact One Place Family Justice Center. We are here to support you.

Our team is in San Francisco this week representing One Place at the Specialized Services for Abused Parents and their Children (SSAPC) Peer to Peer Exchange . One Place is closing out and presenting outcomes of our 2 year project that has been funded through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Through this project we have been able to expand Camp HOPE to include a “whole family approach” that includes navigation, emotional support, and financial aid for caregivers to help them focus on long term stability and healing for their family.

We are so thankful to HHS and the Administration for Children and Families for this opportunity to impact the families we serve in such a meaningful way!

The DV murder-suicide that took place on the post-partum unit of Brookwood Hospital Sunday night is not just an isolated act of violence. It reflects a larger and deeply troubling reality.

Research shows that homicide is a leading cause of death among pregnant and postpartum women in the United States, with intimate partner violence playing a major role. Pregnancy does not shield someone from abuse—in many cases, it increases risk.

Sunday’s tragedy is also a reminder that Domestic Violence is not “just” something that occurs between two people behind closed doors. It spills out into our community, affecting public health and public safety.

Our Executive Director spoke last night to WBRC and CBS42 news to talk about the intersection of domestic violence and community violence, and the risk of lethality during pregnancy and post-partum.
