Thank you to everyone who joined us for yesterday’s joint press conference and helped amplify the urgent need for sustained funding for victim services in Pennsylvania.

We are grateful to each speaker, advocate, survivor, and partner who shared their voices and stood together in support of survivors and the programs that serve them.

A special thank you to Ismail Smith-Wade-El Smith-Wade-El for his powerful remarks and for sharing the story of a survivor he came to know through his work. His reflections on that survivor’s journey underscored a critical truth: when survivors have access to the resources and support they need, lives can be transformed.

Together, we will continue advocating for a state budget that fully funds the services survivors rely on every day.

June is Gun Violence Prevention Month, and we're proud to share that PCADV has been awarded a three-year Violence Intervention and Prevention (VIP) grant through PCCD.

Over the next few months, we'll highlight one of the programs that was awarded the grant, starting with Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County, Inc.

Through this funding, DAP will expand firearm-specific education and outreach to help prevent gun violence in underserved communities.

Because gun violence and domestic violence are deeply connected, investing in prevention, education, and community-based solutions helps create safer communities for everyone.

Domestic violence survivors are the largest group waiting for housing resources in Pennsylvania, and they wait longer than anyone else. Survivors need a network of services and support to remain safely housed and rebuild lives free from abuse.

The needs are clear, and the funding must follow. Increase the DHS domestic violence line item by $8 million.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month — a reminder that healing, vulnerability, and asking for support are signs of strength.

Too often, harmful expectations around masculinity discourage men from speaking openly about mental health, trauma, and abuse. Survivors deserve spaces where they can be heard, believed, and supported without judgment.

Mental health and safety go hand in hand. By creating conversations rooted in empathy, accountability, and support, we help build healthier relationships and stronger communities for everyone.

This week, PCADV team members Alexandra Cantrell and Susan Higginbotham joined Gloria Aguilera Terry, Chief Executive Officer of the Texas Council on Family Violence, and Sara Barber, Executive Director of the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, in Washington, D.C., for NNEDV and NAESV Advocacy Days.

We are grateful for their ongoing leadership and dedication to advancing policies that support domestic violence survivors and strengthen victim services nationwide. Their advocacy helps ensure that the voices and needs of survivors remain at the forefront of critical conversations and decision-making.

Thank you for representing Pennsylvania and standing alongside advocates from across the country in the movement to end domestic violence.

Pride is a celebration of identity, resilience, community, and the right to live safely and authentically. 🌈

LGBTQ+ survivors of domestic violence often face unique barriers when seeking support, including discrimination, isolation, fear of being outed, and a lack of inclusive services. Every survivor deserves to be believed, supported, and safe.

This Pride Month, we reaffirm our commitment to creating survivor-centered spaces that are inclusive, affirming, and accessible for all.

Behind every statistic is a survivor seeking safety, support, and hope.
Pennsylvania’s domestic violence programs served more than 86,000 victims in 2024, yet thousands of requests for help still went unmet because of limited resources.

Every unanswered call and unmet request is a reminder that survivor services need sustained investment and support.

We must continue building a Commonwealth where every survivor can access the help and resources that they need, when they need it.

For Maternal Health Month, we’re holding space for all the ways motherhood can look and feel.

For survivors of abuse, being a mother can mean navigating fear, uncertainty, and difficult decisions while still showing up with love, protection, and care every single day.

To the mothers who are rebuilding, healing, and creating safer futures for themselves and their children: we see you. You are not alone.

If you or someone you know needs support, free and confidential help is available 24/7. 💜

During Maternal Health Month, we recognize the importance of accessible, survivor-centered resources and conversations that support the health, safety, and well-being of parents and families.

Every post, resource, and shared story has the potential to connect someone to support, remind them they are not alone, and help build safer communities for all.
