This Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), our staff and community members put their creativity to work, bringing color to the messages "With Survivors, Always" and "Safety. Support. Solidarity."

These messages reflect what meaningful support can look like: believing survivors, respecting their autonomy, connecting people with resources, and building communities where safety and healing are possible.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make these messages visible in our community!

Visit the link in our bio to learn more about DVAM and access materials to help you learn and support survivors.

🎃 Halloween is a time for creativity and self-expression, but no matter what someone wears, a costume is never consent.

Consent means freely agreeing to a specific activity without pressure or manipulation. It can be withdrawn at any time, and it requires ongoing communication and respect.

Consent isn't just a Halloween conversation. It's part of building healthy relationships and creating a culture where everyone's boundaries are respected.

Teens are helping lead the conversation on digital safety.

We’re proud to be featured in The New York Community Trust’s story, “Teens Protecting Teens from Social Media Harm,” highlighting the work of Teen Leadership Council members Bhoomi Jobanputra and Isla Robbins.

Through informal, peer-led conversations, Bhoomi and Isla help fellow teens recognize relationship red flags, navigate social media safely, understand consent, and identify ways to seek support and help others. Their insights also help inform The Retreat’s digital safety education and resources for young people and the adults who support them.

As technology continues to shape how young people connect and build relationships, youth voices are essential to creating relevant, practical, and accessible tools for navigating online spaces safely.

Thank you to The New York Community Trust for highlighting this important work and supporting our efforts to address technology-related harms and promote healthy relationships.

On October 11, The Retreat was grateful for the opportunity to attend a screening of Men of Courage at Bay Street Theater, presented in partnership with The Center, and to contribute to the conversation that followed with director Byron Hurt. The film highlights the importance of engaging men and boys in violence prevention and creating space for meaningful dialogue about building safer communities.

Thank you to The Center, Bay Street Theater, Byron Hurt, and everyone involved in bringing this important film and conversation to the community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share more about The Retreat’s work and our commitment to breaking the cycle of violence.
