A gentle reminder to anyone who has a young person in their life who is struggling or just needs a compassionate, listening ear 👂💞.

If a young person trusts you enough to share their heartbreak...

Pause.
Listen.
Stay curious.

You don't have to solve the problem. You simply have to remind them they're not facing it alone.

Sometimes that's exactly what's needed most.

You don’t have to walk alone. 💜

The Stoneham Alliance Against Violence (SAAV) was proud to join the Wakefield Alliance Against Violence (WAAV) in the Wakefield 4th of July Parade to raise awareness for those impacted by domestic violence.

Together with our partners from Melrose Alliance Against Violence, we carried a simple but powerful message: You don’t have to walk alone.

Thank you to everyone who cheered us on and helped shine a light on the importance of support, safety, and community. Together, we can build communities where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.
