According to The National Network to End Domestic Violence’s 20th Annual Report, in just one day in 2025, Tennessee’s domestic violence programs were unable to meet 46 requests for services that programs could not provide because they lacked sufficient resources. Approximately 91% of these unmet requests were for emergency shelter, hotels, motels, transitional housing, and other housing. Survivors and their children can’t wait for a safe place to stay.

A common frame of reference for defining abuse is the Power and Control Wheel, developed by the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project. The wheel serves as a diagram of tactics that an abusive partner uses to keep their victims in a relationship. The inside of the wheel is made up of subtle, continual behaviors over time, while the outer ring represents physical and sexual violence.

If you’re not familiar with financial abuse, it’s a common tactic used by abusers to gain power and control in a relationship. Examples include giving you an allowance, not letting you have your own money, hiding family assets, running up debt, interfering with your job, and ruining your credit. Studies show that up to 99% of domestic violence survivors experience financial abuse, and more than 70% of survivors identify “access to money” as a barrier to leaving an abuser. This means that many survivors are forced to stay with abusers for months, even years, before they can afford housing and other essentials.

On Saturday, we gathered for Meet Us at the Bridge to remember and honor the 5 victims of domestic violence in Nashville this year. Our hearts go out to all of the grieving families in our community.

We want to thank the Nashville Coalition Against Domestic Violence for organizing this important event every year, and for honoring The Mary Parrish Center's Moms’ Empowerment Program & Kids' Club with the award for Innovative Domestic Violence Program. Congratulations to all of this year's award winners for their tireless work advocating for survivors.
