October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This month, Solace wants to remind everyone that we can help end domestic violence by coming together as a community.

Let’s stand with survivors, listen without judgment, and help connect anyone who needs support with resources. In Santa Fe, Esperanza Shelter offers support and resources for people experiencing domestic violence.

Together, we can build a community rooted in safety, compassion, and hope. 💜

Consent is an important part of all our relationships, but that doesn’t mean it always needs to be a big conversation.

We already ask for consent all the time with simple questions like “Is it okay if I borrow your pen?” or “Can I sit with you at lunch?”

You can keep practicing consent by being curious about how other people are feeling and making a point to ask.

The more we check in with each other during small everyday situations, the more confident we will be talking about consent in all areas of our lives!

Image Description: Bold text reads “Consent doesn’t have to be complicated" over a picture of calculus notes written on graph paper. The website ItStartsWithUsNM.org and the hashtag appear in a dark banner at the top of the graphic.



El consentimiento es una parte importante de todas nuestras relaciones, pero no por eso tiene que ser siempre una conversación extensa.

Ya solemos pedir consentimiento todo el tiempo con preguntas sencillas como «¿Me prestas tu pluma?» o «¿Puedo acompañarte a almorzar?».

Puedes seguir practicando el consentimiento mostrando interés por cómo se sienten los demás y asegurándote de preguntarles.

Cuanto más nos comuniquemos entre nosotros en las pequeñas situaciones cotidianas, ¡más confianza tendremos para hablar sobre el consentimiento en todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida!

Descripción de la imagen: El texto en letras negritas dice «El consentimiento no tiene por qué ser complicado» sobre una imagen de apuntes de cálculo escritos en papel cuadriculado. El sitio web ItStartsWithUsNM.org y el hashtag aparecen en una franja oscura en la parte superior del gráfico.

Join Solace as we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by honoring the rich history, cultures, contributions, and resilience of Hispanic and Latino communities.

At Solace, we recognize that survivors come from diverse backgrounds. Support should be accessible, culturally responsive, and inclusive. We honor the voices and experiences of Hispanic and Latino survivors and remain committed to providing compassionate support and resources to all.

Sabemos que cada sobreviviente tiene una historia y un contexto cultural únicos.

Planned Parenthood RM asked Solace to speak about our partnership in our comprehensive s*x health education program that we have offered within Santa Fe Public Schools middle schools for over a decade.

Along with our partners Resolve | Violence Prevention we now offer S.H.E.W. in the 7th & 8th grades for the surrounding charter and private schools.

Comprehensive s*x health education is the goal for many states and & parts of are fortunate to have the support of our schools and community. With that trust we are able to provide our youth how to protect their bodies and minds through healthy relationships, boundary setting, STI and pregnancy prevention, and consent education.

We are able to provide this curriculum in not just English but also Spanish so young folks can choose to learn in their preferred language.
