👻💜 SAFETY ISN’T SPOOKY! 💜👻

We had a great time at Dickinson College for their Safety Isn’t Spooky event!

Domestic violence awareness is about more than recognizing the signs of abuse. It’s about building a community where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered to seek help.

Thank you to Dickinson for helping raise awareness and making space for these important conversations!

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to say thank you for following along, learning with us and helping keep the conversation going.

Awareness is just the beginning. There are so many ways you can continue to make a difference in our community:

💜 Learn the signs of domestic violence and emotional abuse.
💜 Share information and resources with your friends, family and community.
💜 Support survivors by listening, believing and offering a judgment-free place to turn.
💜 Volunteer your time with DVSCP or another local organization.
💜 Donate to help provide free, confidential services to survivors and their children.
💜 Attend events and help spread awareness throughout the year.
💜 Speak up when something doesn’t feel right and help create a community where everyone feels safe.

You never know when something you learn, share or do could make a difference in someone’s life. 💜

DVAM MAY BE ENDING, BUT AWARENESS DOESN’T END HERE.

October gives us a chance to talk about domestic violence, learn the signs, support survivors and remind our community that abuse is never okay.

But these conversations matter all year long.

Follow DVSCP or your local and state domestic violence programs to keep learning, stay informed and discover ways you can make a difference for someone in your life — if and when the time comes. 💜

When someone you care about is experiencing abuse, you may not know what to say or do. Start by simply being there.

Listen without judgment.
Believe them.
Offer support, not pressure.
Help connect them with resources, like DVSCP. A trained advocate can help them explore their options and create a safety plan.
Avoid blaming or questioning their choices.

You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes, knowing someone believes you, cares about you, and is there when you need them can make all the difference. 💜

A BIG THANK YOU to Carlisle Young Professionals!

They hosted their annual DVAM donation event to help stock our emergency shelter and provide essential items for individuals and families escaping abuse.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by Seve-N-Dots Publik Pizza Place in Carlisle to donate an item! Your generosity helps make sure survivors have access to the necessities they need as they work toward safety and a fresh start. 💜

Word of the Week: ADVOCACY

Advocacy is supporting someone by helping them understand their options, access resources, and have their voice heard—while respecting their choices and decisions.

For domestic violence services, advocacy can include helping survivors understand their rights, navigate systems, connect with resources, and make safety plans.

Our Advocacy Committee also works to improve legislation and protections for survivors by educating local decision-makers about the barriers survivors face when trying to leave an abusive situation.
