Abuse isn't about anger. It's about power and control. 💜

In our latest blog, Executive Director Megan Hennessey breaks down what many people get wrong about domestic violence, from the many forms abuse can take beyond physical violence to why safer communities need both prevention and strong support for survivors.

You don't have to have the right words for what's happening. You don't have to be sure it's "bad enough." You don't have to have a plan.

If something doesn't feel right — in your relationship, in your home, or in something that happened to you — we believe you, and we're here. Everything at Resilience is free and confidential, always.

Here's what that support can look like, whenever you're ready:

💜 Trauma therapy — for survivors and their children
💜 In-house sexual assault exams — done with care, in a space built for you
💜 Advocacy — legal and general support to help you understand your options and walk you through it, one step at a time
💜 24/7 Help Line — 1-800-848-5991, day or night, whenever you need someone
💜 Personal protection order assistance
💜 Support groups — connect with others who understand
💜 Emergency shelter & housing support — a safe place to land, and help finding what's next

Reaching out doesn't mean you're committing to anything. It just means you don't have to carry this alone anymore.
