💜 **Grateful to be part of a community that shows up.**

A heartfelt **thank you to Hope Alliance of NWI** for giving **Fair Haven R**e Crisis Center** a vendor table at today’s Overdose Awareness Event in Central Park, Griffith.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be present, connect with our community, share resources, and remind those who may be struggling that **support and hope are available.**

Today was about more than remembering lives lost—it was about **supporting families, connecting people to life-saving resources, and reminding one another that no one has to walk their journey alone.**

Thank you for making space for us at the table and for creating space for hope. 💜🕯️

**Remember. Support. Hope.**

🖤 Celebrating 10 Years of Heart, Service & Commitment🖤
We’re a little late celebrating, but 🔟 years of serving survivors deserves to be celebrated all year long! 🎉

On August 8, we celebrated Client Services Director Becca Hatfield’s 10-year anniversary with Fair Haven RCC! Over the years, Becca has served Fair Haven in many roles starting as a Volunteer Medical Advocate, launching our Anti-Trafficking program, and serves today as the Client Services Director.

And if you know Becca, you know her service has never been limited to a job description or office hours. 💯24/7/365📲

🖤 She has shown up—and served—in so many different ways.
As an advocate, she has sat in hospital rooms beside survivors, helped empower victim-impact statements for court, and stood alongside those navigating the difficult road of healing. She has helped set standards, educate others, a champion for multidisciplinary initiatives that strengthen the response to sexual violence and inspiring others to .
As a leader, she has poured into and guided the Direct Services team, making herself available; sharing resources, debriefing with staff after the hard calls, and even taking on-call shifts so others could rest and recharge.
Celebrating office wins; conviction cake, preparing her trophy-winning soup, flipping burgers at staff gatherings and even sending memes to bring laughter and joy to the work day.

These pictures tell only a small part of the story—but they capture something important: Becca brings her heart wherever she serves because she truly does BELIEVE SURVIVORS!

That is ten years of heart.
That is ten years of commitment.
That is ten years supporting people at Fair Haven.🎉⚓🏆

Happy 10-Year Job-iversary, Becca!
Your decade of dedication is worth celebrating!
We are incredibly grateful for the heart you have invested in Fair Haven and the countless lives you have touched along the way.

Today, we recognize Women’s Equality Day and honor the generations of women who have advocated, challenged barriers, and paved the way for greater equality.

While we celebrate progress, we also recognize that the work continues. Every woman deserves to live with safety, dignity, opportunity, respect, and freedom from violence.

At Fair Haven RCC, we remain committed to standing with survivors, amplifying voices, and helping build stronger, safer communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Equality is not just something we celebrate—it is something we continue to work toward.
