Domestic violence is about power and control. While physical violence is one form of abuse, many survivors experience manipulation, intimidation, isolation, financial control, or threats long before physical violence occurs.

Recognizing the signs can help someone get the support they need.

June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to welcome LIVE FREE Oklahoma led by Jabee, along with Dr Seleena Smith, PhD, Jordan Humphrey, and our incoming Board Chair, Maressa Treat, for a tour of our Campus of Courage.

At YWCA Oklahoma City, we know that preventing violence requires collaboration, compassion, and a commitment to supporting survivors. We honor the work of specialized victim service providers and community leaders who are working every day to reduce violence, prevent tragedy, and create safer communities for all.

Together, we can build a future rooted in safety, healing, and hope.

Pride Month is a reminder that everyone deserves to live free from violence, discrimination, and fear. 🌈

At YWCA Oklahoma City, we know that survivors come from every background, identity, and experience. We are committed to ensuring that 2SLGBTQ+ individuals have access to the support, advocacy, and resources they need on their path toward healing.

As we celebrate Pride, we also recognize the ongoing work required to create communities where every person can live authentically, safely, and with dignity.

We stand with the 2SLGBTQ+ community today and every day.
