Nearly 1 in 3 women in Idaho have experienced intimate partner violence in their lifetime.

Think about that for a moment. These are our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members. Abuse is happening in our communities, often behind closed doors, and many survivors never reach out for help.

That's why Faces of Hope is here.

Whether someone is ready to leave an abusive relationship, has already left, or simply needs someone to talk to about their options, we are here to help. Our services are provided at no cost, and you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

Everyone deserves to feel safe. Everyone deserves hope.

💜 Hope. Healing. Empowerment.

💜 Join us for Purple Thursday!💜

Tomorrow, October 22, 2026, we invite you to wear purple with Faces of Hope to show your support for survivors of domestic violence.

Purple is more than a color. It represents courage, hope, and our commitment to a future free from domestic violence.

Wear a purple shirt, tie, ribbon, or even purple shoes. Encourage your coworkers, friends, family, or entire organization to join you. Then snap a photo and tag **Faces of Hope** so we can share it!

When our community wears purple, we help start conversations, raise awareness, and remind survivors that they are seen and supported.

💜 Wear purple. Stand with survivors.

Hope looks like coming back for help—even if you've come through our doors before. 💙

Healing isn't always a straight line. Sometimes a survivor leaves and goes back. Sometimes things get better for a while. Sometimes they're simply not ready to make a change the first—or second—or third—time they reach out.

And that's okay.

At Faces of Hope, you don't have to explain why you're back. You don't have to apologize. And you haven't failed.

Our doors are still open. We'll meet you where you are, help you understand your options, and walk beside you as you decide what comes next.

If you've been here before and need us again, come back. We're still here.

Sometimes hope looks like trying again.

5 signs everyone needs to know about domestic violence

10/14/2026

Abuse can take many forms, including:

• Emotional abuse — humiliation, constant criticism, intimidation, threats, or making you feel like you’re never good enough
• Verbal abuse — yelling, name-calling, insults, or degrading comments
• Financial abuse — controlling money, preventing you from working, taking your paycheck, or making you account for every dollar
• Sexual abuse — pressuring, coercing, or forcing sexual contact or ignoring your boundaries
• Technology abuse — monitoring your phone, tracking your location, demanding passwords, or controlling who you communicate with
• Isolation — keeping you away from friends, family, coworkers, or other sources of support
• Stalking — repeatedly following, watching, contacting, tracking, or showing up in ways that make you feel unsafe
• Coercive control — using rules, threats, intimidation, or manipulation to control your everyday choices
• Threats involving children, pets, or loved ones — using the people or animals you care about to frighten or control you
• Property destruction — punching walls, breaking belongings, damaging your car, or destroying things that matter to you
• Spiritual abuse — using faith or religious beliefs to shame, manipulate, justify abuse, or control your choices
• Immigration-related abuse — threatening deportation, withholding documents, or using immigration status as a means of control

You do not have to have a bruise to deserve help.

If something in your relationship makes you feel afraid, controlled, isolated, or unsafe, Faces of Hope is here to listen and help you understand your options.

Our services are provided at no cost, and you do not have to be ready to leave to reach out.

For many survivors, a beloved pet can become another way an abuser uses power and control.

Abusers may threaten, hurt, neglect, or even take away a pet to frighten someone, punish them, or keep them from leaving. They may use the bond a survivor has with an animal as leverage: “If you leave, something will happen to your pet.”

Animal abuse in a relationship isn’t just cruelty toward an animal. It can also be a form of domestic violence and coercive control.

No one should have to choose between their own safety and the safety of a pet they love.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, Faces of Hope is here to help you understand your options and create a plan for safety.
