You don't have to do everything to make a difference.

Start with one thing.

Learn one warning sign.
Share one resource.
Check on one friend.
Teach your children about healthy relationships.
Listen without judgment.
Speak up when you hear victim-blaming.

Small actions multiplied across a community can create change.

What's one thing you can do?

Love should make you feel valued, respected, supported, and safe.

It should give you the freedom to be yourself, pursue your dreams, maintain friendships, and have a voice in your relationship.

Love shouldn't leave you walking on eggshells, questioning your worth, or feeling afraid of someone's reaction.

Healthy love builds you up. It doesn't tear you down.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let's remind ourselves and those around us that everyone deserves a relationship filled with kindness, trust, respect, and safety. 💜

Abuse isn't always something you can see.

Financial abuse can make someone feel trapped by limiting their ability to support themselves or make independent decisions.

Controlling access to money, interfering with employment, withholding financial information, or using money as a way to control a partner are behaviors we should take seriously.

Everyone deserves independence, dignity, and safety.

10/23/2026

Technology should not be used as a tool for control.

Constantly demanding someone's location, checking their messages, requiring passwords, tracking their activity, or becoming angry when they don't immediately respond can be forms of digital abuse.

A healthy relationship includes trust, privacy, and boundaries.

💜 A Special Thank You to Rachel Dixon and Birth, Bloom & Body! 💜

We are so grateful for Rachel Dixon and her continued support of Family Resources and the individuals and families we serve!

During September, Rachel collected personal hygiene items for women and children receiving services through our PATH Shelter. She is continuing her generosity throughout October in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, donating a portion of the proceeds from each massage to support our shelter and the survivors we serve.

Rachel’s kindness and commitment to giving back are wonderful examples of how local businesses can make a meaningful difference in our community.

Thank you, Rachel, and Bloom Birth and Body for your compassion, generosity, and dedication to supporting those affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. Your support truly makes a difference! 💜

Domestic violence doesn't have one “look.”

Someone experiencing abuse may be your friend, coworker, neighbor, family member, client, or someone you see every week.

They may still go to work. They may still smile. They may still post family pictures. They may not be ready to tell anyone what is happening.

That's why the way we talk about domestic violence matters.

Be someone who listens without judgment. Be someone who believes survivors. Be someone who knows where to find help.

10/18/2026

Survivors should never have to share the details of their trauma to deserve compassion, support, or respect.

Some people tell their stories.

Some tell only the people they trust.

Some never tell publicly at all.

Every choice is valid.

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we honor survivors without asking them to relive their experiences for us.

We can believe. We can support. We can listen. 💜
