We love this share from our sister Shelter. We often get calls or have conversations with friends or family members of survivors who just want to know how to help their loved one. Simply by listening and respecting their individual choices, you can create a safe space that empowers someone who is experiencing harm. And connecting the survivor to their local resources is also a huge help, whether they are considering leaving or looking for ways to increase safety within the relationship. Our 24/7 helpline is always available with free and confidential services just a phone call away - 906-524-7078.
As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, our support for survivors must continue. đź’ś
Remember the Big Three: Believe, Validate, and Empower. Believe their stories, validate their feelings, and empower them to make their own choices without judgment or pressure.
Supporting survivors doesn’t end in October. Let’s continue to lead with compassion, listen with empathy, and remind survivors that they are never alone. 💜🦋
