Thank you San Jacinto County for Proclaiming October Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The idea for October’s domestic violence observance grew from the Day of Unity held on October 17, 1981, organized by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) to connect advocates nationwide and raise public awareness about domestic violence . This event quickly expanded into a week of activities at local, state, and national levels, with themes such as mourning victims, celebrating survivors, and connecting service providers.
First observance
The first full Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed in October 1987, in 1989, Congress passed Public Law 101 112, which designated October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Since then, the legislation has been renewed annually, and the month has been marked by events, education, and awareness campaigns across the United States.

💜Help SAAFE House Meet a Need 💜

SAAFE House is incredibly grateful for the generous food donations we receive from our communities. These contributions help us provide nutritious meals to the individuals and families we serve each day. As the number of clients in our care continues to grow, we urgently need a commercial-size refrigerator to safely store the food provided for them. The estimated cost is $5,343.20. We are asking our community to help us reach this goal through financial contributions, fundraising support, or the donation of a commercial refrigerator. Every gift—regardless of the amount—will bring us one step closer to meeting this essential need. Thank you for continuing to support SAAFE House and the people who depend on our services.

Navigating the legal system can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At SAAFE House, we offer legal advocacy and court accompaniment to help survivors understand their options and feel supported every step of the way.

Our team can assist with protective-order related support, and when applicable, we can accompany survivors to law enforcement, prosecutors’ offices, or court. While we don’t offer legal advice, we’re here to make the process less intimidating and ensure no one has to go through it alone.

If you or someone you know needs confidential support, our 24/7 hotline is always here at (936) 291-3369. You’re not alone, and we’re here to help.

As students head back to school, it’s a great time to talk with the teens in our lives about healthy relationships, consent, boundaries, and where to turn when something doesn’t feel right. These conversations can make a real difference, whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or teen yourself.

Our team at SAAFE House offers youth outreach and community education to help teens learn what respect, safety, and healthy communication look like. We keep everything age‑appropriate, supportive, and focused on empowerment.

If you or someone you know could use resources, guidance, or a safe place to ask questions, we’re here to help. Contact SAAFE House anytime for support or education resources.

Summer can be a busy season for families, and we know volunteer time often slows down. As the community settles back into school-year routines, this is a great time to reconnect and get involved again.

At SAAFE House, our need for compassionate, hands-on support never pauses. Our team depends on volunteers to help us provide free, confidential domestic violence and sexual assault services across Walker, Trinity, Polk, and San Jacinto counties.

Here are a few ways to plug in right now:

• Support our This & That Boutique & Resale Shop by sorting donations, assisting shoppers, and helping fund emergency shelter and survivor services.
• Volunteer at our emergency shelter by organizing supplies, prepping essential items, or helping with daily operations that keep women and children safe.
• Join us at community education events to help share resources, promote violence prevention, and connect families with free domestic violence and sexual assault support.
• Provide behind-the-scenes support like assembling resource packets or preparing materials for advocacy and counseling programs.

Whether you’re returning after a summer break or joining us for the first time, we’re grateful you’re here. Your time strengthens our crisis response and helps survivors access the support they deserve.
