Yesterday, we came together At the Table—and what a meaningful conversation it was!

Thank you to everyone who joined the YWCA of Greater Flint at the Greater Flint Arts Council for an open and important discussion about domestic violence.

We are especially grateful to our panelists, community leaders, partners, and guests who brought their voices, experiences, questions, and perspectives to the table.

Conversations like these matter. When we listen to one another, share what we know, and have the courage to talk about difficult issues, we move from awareness toward action.

Thank you to the Greater Flint Arts Council for welcoming us into your space—and thank you to everyone who pulled up a chair. 💜

WEEK WITHOUT VIOLENCE — DAY 4
Boys are affected by violence, too. When we talk about domestic and relationship violence, the experiences of boys and young men can sometimes be overlooked. Many may feel pressure to stay silent, hide fear or believe that asking for help makes them weak—meaning their experiences can go unreported.

Let’s teach our boys that strength includes speaking up, that experiencing abuse is never something to be ashamed of, and that asking for help is an act of courage.

This Week Without Violence, let’s make sure every voice has a place in the conversation.

Flint is shining purple for Domestic Violence Awareness Month!
A heartfelt thank you to the Mott Foundation Building and the Huntington Bank Weather Ball for lighting up downtown Flint in purple and helping shine a light on domestic violence.

We are grateful to our community for standing with the YWCA of Greater Flint and helping raise awareness throughout DVAM. Together, we can keep the conversation going and work toward a future free from violence. 💜

We needed a bit of help moving in some new office furniture! A big thank you goes out to our volunteers for making the load a little lighter!

When someone tells you they are experiencing domestic violence, you don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply listen without judgment and believe them. Avoid asking, “Why don’t you just leave?” Instead, ask, “How can I support you?”

Leaving an abusive relationship can be complicated, frightening and even dangerous. Survivors deserve compassion, resources and the freedom to make decisions about their own safety. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let’s be a community where survivors know they will be heard, believed and supported.

WEEK WITHOUT VIOLENCE — DAY 2

Violence doesn’t always leave a bruise. Abuse can take many forms—emotional, verbal, financial, sexual, digital and physical. It can look like control disguised as concern, isolation disguised as love, or fear that has slowly become part of everyday life. Today, we ask our community to look beyond what we can see. Listen without judgment. Believe survivors. Learn the warning signs. And remember that everyone deserves relationships built on respect, safety and freedom—not fear and control.

Throughout Week Without Violence, we’re challenging our community to recognize violence, talk about it and be part of creating something better.

A Week Without Violence begins with all of us.

Today, the YWCA of Greater Flint invites you to imagine a community where everyone can live free from fear—and consider how we can help make that vision a reality.

Listen to survivors. Challenge harmful attitudes. Teach respect and healthy boundaries. Speak up when someone needs support. Every action helps build a safer community.

Together, we can turn a week of awareness into a lasting commitment to peace, justice, and dignity for all.

This Purple Thursday, we stand with survivors of domestic violence and honor the voices represented through the Clothesline Project.

Each shirt was decorated by a survivor and tells a story—of pain, courage, survival, remembrance and hope. Together, they are a powerful reminder that domestic violence is not something that should remain hidden behind closed doors.

As you look through these images, take a moment to read the words. Remember the people behind them. Believe survivors. Speak up. And help us create a community where everyone can live free from violence.
