Knowledge Is Empowerment

At Henderson House, our team of advocates are trained, knowledgeable, and completely confidential. We know that fleeing an abusive situation is difficult and to do so safely can require additional resources and expertise. We are here to empower survivors to flee safely, to help them reestablish their lives free of violence, and to provide a place to heal with a community of support.

We believe that knowledge is empowerment, and in that spirit we'll be sharing some important information related to our work through periodic "quizzes" (with answers provided in the comments).

We encourage you to read, reflect, and share!

Big news for survivors in Yamhill County! 💜

We are beyond moved to share that Henderson House was the recipient of a $25,000 gift from the Marilyn Ebert Memorial Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation.

This generous support directly fuels our expanded shelter access as well as our advocates’ tireless work to ensure that DV/SA survivors in Yamhill County have access to 24/7 confidential, 1-on-1 support as they flee abuse and break cycles of violence.

A massive thank you to Oregon Community Foundation for your vital partnership in our work and for believing in a safer future for our community.

Why are we wearing denim today? 👖💙

In the late 1990s, the Italian Supreme Court overturned an SA conviction because the survivor wore tight jeans. The court argued that she must have helped her attacker remove them, thereby implying consent. The next day, women in the Italian Parliament arrived at work wearing denim in a fierce display of solidarity.

Today, Henderson House stands with survivors everywhere to say: There is never an excuse for SA. Clothing is not consent.

By wearing your jeans today, you are making a social statement against victim-blaming and the myths that surround SA.

How to support local survivors today:

(1) Wear Denim: Snap a selfie and tag us .

(2) Speak Up: Challenge comments that blame survivors for the harm done to them.

(3) Give: Your donations allow us to provide 24/7 crisis advocacy and emergency shelter for those in Yamhill County.
