💜 Awareness is just the beginning!

There are many ways you can support survivors and help create a more informed and compassionate community:

Every conversation, connection, and act of support matters.

💜 Wear purple. Show support. Raise awareness.

This October, we're wearing purple to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month and stand in solidarity with survivors.

Whether you're wearing purple, sharing resources, or starting a conversation, every action helps raise awareness and remind survivors that they are not alone.

Share your purple with us! 💜

🩶 IT DOESN’T HAVE TO LEAVE A BRUISE.
“You don’t need those friends.”
“Your family doesn’t understand us.”
“I don’t like you going out without me.”
Abuse can involve isolating someone from the people and support systems around them.
Healthy relationships make room for connection—not isolation.

💬 WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
A coworker frequently gets calls and texts from their partner during work and seems nervous about responding quickly.
❌ Instead of: “Your partner sounds crazy.”
💜 Try: “I’ve noticed you seem stressed. If you ever need support or someone to talk to, I’m here.”
You never know what someone may be experiencing behind the scenes.

🖤🩶🤍💜 It’s Ace Week, October 25–31!

This week, we celebrate asexual people and raise awareness of the many experiences within the ace community. Asexuality describes experiencing little or no sexual attraction, and every person’s experience is their own.

Ace people are part of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Your identity is valid, your relationships are yours to define, and you belong at Pride. 🌈

Let’s keep learning, challenge stereotypes, and make room for every way of being ourselves.

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day.

Experiencing crime, abuse, or trauma can have lasting emotional effects. Access to support, understanding, and compassionate care can make a difference in a survivor's journey.

Today, we're reminding our community that healing looks different for everyone, and asking for help is a sign of strength.

Let's continue creating a community where everyone feels supported.

🚩 RED FLAG: “Why do you need to go out without me?”
💚 GREEN FLAG: “Have fun tonight!”
A healthy relationship allows each person to maintain friendships, interests, and a life outside the relationship.
Love doesn’t require isolation.

🩶 IT DOESN’T HAVE TO LEAVE A BRUISE.
Checking your location constantly.
Demanding access to your phone.
Wanting to know who you’re with at all times.
These behaviors can be signs of control.
Domestic violence isn’t only physical. It can involve patterns of power, control, intimidation, and coercion.
Control is not the same as love.

💬 WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
Your friend keeps canceling plans because their partner gets angry when they go out without them.
❌ Instead of: “Why do you keep letting them control you?”
💜 Try: “I’ve noticed you’ve had to cancel a lot lately. I’m here if you ever want to talk. You don’t have to explain anything.”
Support starts with creating a safe space to talk—not judgment.

💜 Things survivors wish you knew:
“Leaving wasn’t one decision. I tried more than once.”
Leaving an abusive relationship can be complicated. Safety concerns, finances, children, housing, fear, isolation, and many other factors can make leaving difficult.
Instead of asking, “Why didn’t you leave?” try asking:
“How can I support you?”
