Today, Willow Domestic Violence Center joined community leaders to launch Domestic Violence Awareness Month and recommit to building a community where everyone can live free from abuse.

A survivor’s journey can touch many systems — advocacy, law enforcement, courts, healthcare, campuses, community-based providers, and more.

At this year’s Willow Summit, keynote speaker Sarah Galgano of the Geiger Institute will open the day with a powerful session on what it takes to build safer, more coordinated community responses to intimate partner violence.

Because when a community stands together, change becomes possible.

First day of school energy was in the air this week — and our Community Engagement team felt it too. 💜

As kiddos across our community headed back to classrooms, our team had a “first day” of our own: moving into Willow’s new location.

As construction wraps up, we’re getting ready to open our doors this fall to survivors and families seeking safety from abuse.

New space. Same mission. More room to connect, listen, show up, and continue building safety, justice, healing, and hope alongside our community.

Here’s to new beginnings — for students, families, and everyone stepping into something new this season.
