What happens when violence is treated like a joke?

A recent golf ad showing a man shoving a woman to the ground sparked a larger conversation about how we see and talk about violence against women.

That conversation matters.

In Boulder County, about 1,000 of the 8,000 cases handled by the District Attorney’s Office each year are domestic-violence-related. Behind every case is a person—and often a family—navigating fear, safety and difficult decisions.

Awareness starts conversations. Conversations can change how we recognize violence, respond to it and support survivors.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

💜 Thank you, Community Foundation Boulder County for awarding SPAN a Community Trust Grant to support the vital services survivors and their families rely on!

Safety looks like a 2 a.m. hotline call answered. A shelter bed for a mom, her kids, and their beloved pet. A counselor listening and helping someone find hope and begin healing. A support group. An advocate walking someone through a protection order. A classroom conversation about healthy relationships.

For more than four decades, SPAN has been a vital part of our community’s safety net. This support means that when someone reaches out for help, SPAN is there. 💜

🌟 National Night Out at San Juan del Centro! 🌟

SPAN was honored to be part of this amazing community gathering, celebrating National Night Out!, a police-community partnership focused on building connection, trust, and safer neighborhoods.

It was a fun evening filled with food, games, music, and meaningful conversations alongside the Boulder Police Department local leaders, and fellow community organizations. SPAN and other organizations were there to connect neighbors with resources and support, because we believe strong relationships and accessible resources help create safer, stronger communities.

Thank you to San Juan del Centro for inviting SPAN to be part of such a wonderful evening and to everyone who came out to connect, celebrate, and build community with us! 💜

SPAN was honored to be invited to the Big Smile Fundraising Concert Big Smile Project “Walk in the Light,” at Roots Music Project.
