This year's Commemoration Speaker Vikki Gladney wants you to know, "You don’t have to figure out advocacy alone."

What if we talked about healthy relationships before unhealthy patterns become harmful?

Vikki believes prevention starts with teaching young people what healthy relationships look like, and creating space for honest conversations about behavior, accountability, and change.

Change starts with the way we show up for one another. 💜 ALWAYS!!

Supporting survivors means creating spaces where people are believed, heard, and met with compassion. It means challenging harmful narratives and learning how to respond when someone discloses abuse. It's about reminding survivors that support is available.

This DVAM, we invite you to be part of that change!!

Share this post with your friends, family, coworkers, and community to build support.

“Your presence in those moments can either open a door or close one.”

For someone experiencing domestic violence, the way we respond can shape whether they feel safe sharing their story. 💜 💜 💜

Wednesdays are for Community Training!! 🥳 💕

Our experiences shape us, but understanding them can help us change what comes next.

How are adverse childhood experiences connected to domestic violence? And how do trauma, systemic inequities, and protective factors shape the answer?

Join DVPN for a virtual session exploring the ACEs study, where we'll dive deeper into the connection to adult health outcomes and domestic violence as well as best approaches to addressing childhood trauma through prevention.

Join the convo!! Register on Zoom at https://tr.ee/aces-and-dv-event :)

DVAM VOICES: Amanda Willis

This , we’re honoring the voices of advocates and survivors in our community who exemplify how hope can emerge through healing.

As a survivor of domestic violence, Amanda Willis knows firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate life after abuse, and how important it is to have safe people and places to turn to along the way. For Amanda, healing begins with self-awareness.

In her conversation with DVPN, Amanda shares what healing means to her, what she wishes more people understood about domestic violence, how communities can support survivors, and the message she wants anyone experiencing abuse to hear:

“There is help for you. Do not stay silent. Open your mouth, reach out.”
