“Domestic Violence Is More Than Physical Abuse”

Different forms of abuse:

* Physical abuse
* Emotional/verbal abuse
* Sexual abuse
* Financial abuse
* Digital/technology abuse
* Stalking and intimidation

Domestic violence isn’t always visible. Abuse can happen without leaving a bruise.

⛳ Volunteers Needed for the J4G Golf Fundraiser💜

Our Journey 4 Gina Golf Fundraiser is just around the corner on Monday, July 27, and we’re looking for a few more amazing volunteers to help make this event a success!

Volunteer check-in begins at 8:00 AM, and the event will wrap up around 5:00/6:00 PM. While we’ll have volunteer opportunities throughout the day, you do not need to stay the entire time. Whether you can give an hour, a few hours, or the whole day, your time and support would mean so much to us.

If you’re available and would like to volunteer, please comment below or send us a private message. We’d love to have you join us!

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one swing at a time. 💜🏌️

We cannot begin to express how meaningful and rewarding yesterday’s summit was for us. Speaking before an audience of more than 120 individuals including judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and community leaders, was both emotional and impactful.

Our presentation helped give Gina a face and a story, rather than allowing her to remain just another statistic. We also shared the work that J4G is doing to support victims of domestic violence and highlighted the importance of advocating for legislative change to better protect survivors and families affected by domestic violence.

Thank you to the University of Michigan DPSS Special Victims Unit for this meaningful opportunity. Together, we can continue the conversation, spread awareness, and work toward prevention and support for survivors everywhere 💜

We are incredibly honored to announce that Journey 4 Gina (J4G) will be speaking at the University of Michigan DPSS Special Victims Unit’s Interpersonal Violence Response Summit on June 8–9, 2026. 💜

This opportunity allows us to continue sharing Gina’s story, advocate for victims and survivors, and bring awareness to the realities of domestic violence and interpersonal violence. Through pain, we found purpose and we remain committed to being a voice for those who feel unheard, unseen, or silenced.

We are grateful to stand alongside powerful speakers, survivors, advocates, and professionals who are working to create trauma-informed, victim-centered change.
