We're 10% of the way to our Virtual Walk goal.

$1,600. Raised by people who decided a survivor they may never meet deserves a safe place to land.

Every dollar goes toward support services for survivors in San Diego County. Every mile walked October 3 and 4 is a reminder that you are enough, exactly as you are.

There's still room at the starting line. Register, donate, or share this post. All three help.

Abuse doesn't always look like abuse.

One argument is an argument.

A repeating pattern where one person holds all the power is something else.

And love and harm can live in the same house at the same time. That doesn't make the harm less real, and it doesn't mean you're confused about what you're feeling.

If any of this sounds familiar, there's no pressure to do anything today. Reading is enough.

We're here whenever you're ready.

This October, there's a finish line on every street. 💜

The C.D.V. Virtual Walk is back October 3rd and 4th, and here's the beautiful part: anyone, from anywhere, can participate. Your neighborhood. Your treadmill. Your hallway. If you can take a step, you're in.

Walk solo. Walk with a team. Walk with your pet (highly encouraged, please tag us even in your pet walking photos), or form a group!

Every step supports survivors of domestic violence as they rebuild their lives, one ordinary, extraordinary step at a time.

Registration is open now. We'd love to have you. 💜

Diverse workforces need culturally competent DV training - not a general policy that treats every survivor the same way.

A Latina employee navigating immigration status and a Black woman weighing community perception and a woman from an honor culture weighing family consequence are not in the same situation. Generic training doesn't account for that. C.D.V. does.

If your organization serves a diverse workforce and your DV response isn't culturally specific, it isn't actually a response. confrontingdv.org

Black, Latinx, and Indigenous survivors face domestic violence at disproportionate rates and are disproportionately underserved by the systems meant to help them.

Cultural mistrust of law enforcement, language barriers, immigration status, and community shame aren't excuses for underreporting - they're structural failures that leave real people without real options.

Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that the gap between who needs help and who receives it is not an accident.

After relocation, kids do something remarkable.

They sleep through the night.
They raise their hands in class.
They make friends.
They stop holding their breath at loud noises.

It doesn't happen overnight, but it happens - and C.D.V. have watched it happen family after family.

Back to school looks different when the house is safe.
That's what this work is actually for.

If you want to be part of making that possible, confrontingdv.org is where it starts.

When school starts, so does the clock.

For survivors in active situations, a predictable school schedule is one of the most powerful safety planning tools available - and most people don't know that.

Here's what that can look like in practice:

Drop-off and pick-up times create consistent windows when a partner's location is known and predictable. That predictability is leverage. A 20-minute window at 8am is enough time to make a call, send a message, or meet someone safely.

If you're in a situation and school just started, this month matters. C.D.V. helps survivors plan and fund the actual move - not just the decision.

If you're ready to take that step or just want to know what's possible, the application is at confrontingdv.org. No commitment to apply. Just information in your hands.

Share this one. Someone in your feed needs it today.

August is one of the highest-leverage months for safety planning and most survivors don't realize it.

When school starts, schedules become predictable. Predictability is information. Information is power.

If you work with survivors professionally - as a counselor, advocate, school social worker, or HR contact - August is the time to have the conversation about what resources exist before the holiday season arrives and crisis volume spikes.

C.D.V. trains organizations and works directly with survivors. Both doors are open at confrontingdv.org.
