Domestic violence is not a rare occurrence. It is a widespread public health crisis impacting individuals across every community, workplace, and neighborhood. 📉🔍

According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, intimate partner violence alone affects more than 12 million people every single year. Behind that statistic are millions of individuals navigating trauma, isolation, and fear in spaces that should be safe.
Awareness is the foundation of change. By understanding the sheer scale of domestic violence, we can better understand the critical need for robust community infrastructure, comprehensive support systems, and trauma-informed care.🤝

No one should have to face this reality alone. SafeHouse is dedicated to providing survivors with the resources, emergency shelter, and professional guidance needed to rebuild their lives in safety and peace.
If you or someone you know needs support, our confidential resources are available around the clock.

MYTH vs. FACT

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Shelby County Domestic Violence Coalition is highlighting the many roles our community partners play in supporting survivors. At SafeHouse, part of our role is challenging the harmful myths and stereotypes that have long surrounded victims and survivors of domestic violence, and replacing them with the truth and compassion.

MYTH: “The abuse ends after a survivor leaves.”

FACT: The most dangerous time for a survivor is immediately after leaving.

Abusers feel their control over the survivor slipping, so they often resort to new tactics, such as stalking and harassment.

Many abusers also retaliate against victims when they show independence, such as getting a job, buying a car, or leaving.

There is no easy out for a survivor. Their journey does not end with leaving.

Our role is not to ask, “Why are they still worried?”

Our role is to ask, “What support do they need throughout their journey?”

SafeHouse is here to provide confidential support, safety planning, advocacy, resources, and services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Part of the Shelby County Domestic Violence Coalition’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month campaign.
