Technology can connect us, but it can also be used as a tool for control.

Digital abuse may include monitoring someone’s phone, demanding passwords, tracking their location, repeatedly checking their messages, or using technology to intimidate or harass them.

Knowing the signs matters. So does knowing that controlling behavior isn’t the same thing as caring.

This month, we’re talking about the different forms abuse can take so we can better recognize the signs and support one another.

Today, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day by honoring the histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous communities. It’s a time to recognize the resilience of Indigenous peoples, celebrate their enduring impact, and reflect on the importance of preserving their stories and honoring their voices.

At The Hive, we believe building stronger communities starts with honoring the people, cultures, and stories that shape them. 💛

The Hive’s CEO and Founder, Ashley Olayinka, was part of the panel “Domestic Violence Across Systems: A Conversation with Experts on Advocacy, Law, & Support,” hosted by the University of South Carolina’s Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice. 💜

The conversation brought together perspectives on advocacy, legal systems, and support for those impacted by domestic violence. We’re proud to see our CEO contributing to these important conversations and advancing The Hive’s mission to build a more informed, supported, and empowered community.

Thank you to the University of South Carolina for creating space for this important dialogue.

On October 6, The Hive gathered with community members for our Silent Witness Ceremony, honoring lives lost to domestic violence and standing in solidarity with survivors.

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we’re reminded of the importance of raising awareness, supporting survivors, and working together to build a safer community.

Awareness, support, and action matter. 💜

Abuse isn’t always physical.

Emotional abuse can include insults, humiliation, intimidation, manipulation, isolation, or behaviors designed to control how someone feels, thinks, or interacts with others.

Knowing the signs can help us recognize unhealthy patterns and better support the people around us.

This October, we’re talking about the different forms abuse can take because awareness is one part of creating safer communities.

Community care makes a difference. 💜

LJ Health Solutions donated more than 120 organic menstrual pads to Casita of Care, made possible by the generous attendees of last Friday’s Unpacked Leadership Conference at R2i2.

Thank you to everyone who helped turn a conference into an opportunity to give back and support our community.

Every life lost to domestic violence leaves behind a family, a community, and a story that deserves to be remembered.

Tomorrow, the S.C. Attorney General’s Office will host its annual Silent Witness Ceremony at the South Carolina State House. The ceremony honors South Carolinians who lost their lives to domestic violence, with each victim represented by a life-sized silhouette as their name is read aloud.

📍 South steps of the S.C. State House
🗓️ Tuesday, Oct. 6
⏰ 10 a.m.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month begins, we remember those we’ve lost and recommit to building communities where survivors are supported, believed, and never left to face abuse alone.

Recently, the Denmark Police Department’s victim advocate visited our Casita of Care and selected personal care items and cleaning supplies for 12 survivors. 💛

The Hive’s Bee Boxes are another way we provide support to survivors, offering comforting items like a journal, stress ball, affirmation card, coloring book, and essential-oil-infused beads, along with information about The Hive’s services and how to connect when they’re ready.

We’re grateful for community partners who help make sure survivors have access to care and resources when they need them.

Last week, we shared our Red Zone series to talk about sexual violence, consent, and prevention. This week, we’re continuing that conversation.

The national attention surrounding the allegations at Cornell is a reminder that these conversations cannot begin and end with one case.

Consent to one act is not consent to every act. Survivors do not have to respond perfectly for what happened to them to matter.

Prevention means more than teaching potential victims how to avoid harm. We have to teach people not to cause it and that work starts long before college.

Through Buzz Pak and our prevention and response training, The Hive works with young people, schools, colleges, workplaces, and community organizations to build safer communities.

Swipe through, share this conversation, and connect with The Hive to bring prevention education to your community.

To survivors: we hear you. Your experiences matter.
