As we step into DV Awareness Month this week, we are preparing for our 3rd Annual Crown of Yamhill County fundraiser this Saturday, October 3rd at Gallery Theater. Each year, an incredible crew of participants moves our audience to tears and laughter through their performances, all to sustain survivor services.

While our staff and volunteers are hard at work putting the final touches on Saturday night’s event, we are pausing to reflect on a cultural moment that took place last night.

DV relationship dynamics were brought front and center for millions viewing the premiere of Taylor Swift’s music video for “Patient Zero” at the MTV VMAs. The storyline depicted a relationship characterized by love-bombing, narcissistic abuse, disorientation, and intense isolation. The video starkly portrays how intimate partner violence operates behind closed doors.

In one particularly haunting scene, Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell’s characters drive home from an event where her character was drugged. As she expresses fear and distress, he responds with disgust and recklessly accelerates the vehicle to escalate her fear, while she repeatedly apologizes. The story then shows how abuse can turn deadly.

These dynamics are specific, yet heartbreakingly universal.

The harms of DV extend far beyond physical injuries. The psychological fog, the sudden loss of identity, the erosion of self-worth, and the dismantling of personal security can take survivors years to process and heal from—if they are able to safely flee.

In a year where headline after headline declares how DV led to lives ended , where safety-net resources face increasing threats, high-visibility portrayals of these subtle, insidious dynamics matter. They validate survivors' experiences and shine a light on realities that are too often kept hidden in the shadows.

If these conversations leave you seeking hope, action, and community connection, we invite you to join us this weekend. Together, we can turn awareness into tangible support. Join Us for the 3rd Annual Crown of Yamhill County

When: Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 5:30 PM (PDT)

The Henderson House team lit candles of remembrance on our Advocacy Center mantle, next to a photo of our founder, Mary Henderson, honoring Stella Kimsey, Mary Kimsey, Rowan Kimsey, Linsey Haraldsen, and Alvin Chu.

We are a small but mighty team of confidential advocates who safety-plan, support, listen to, and believe survivors like Stella with care and compassion, 24/7. We are utterly heartbroken for the families, community, survivors, and helpers impacted by their murders.

Please remember, you are not alone. Help is available 24/7 via our crisis line at 503-572-1503.

Domestic violence is an epidemic that can lead to devastating tragedies like this on any given day. Mothers, family members, and friends supporting a loved one should never lose their lives doing so. We must do better for survivors and their loved ones by prioritizing prevention, response, and access to support today.

💔🕯️💜

El equipo de Henderson House encendió velas en memoria de Stella Kimsey, Mary Kimsey, Rowan Kimsey, Linsey Haraldsen y Alvin Chu; las colocamos sobre la repisa de nuestro Centro de Servicios, junto a una fotografía de nuestra fundadora, Mary Henderson.

Somos un equipo pequeño pero fuerte que ofrece servicios confidenciales; nos dedicamos a elaborar planes de seguridad, brindar apoyo, escuchar y creer en sobrevivientes como Stella con cuidado y compasión, las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana. Estamos profundamente consternados por el dolor que sufren las familias, la comunidad, los sobrevivientes y las personas que brindaron ayuda, todos ellos afectados por estos asesinatos.

Por favor, recuerde que no está solo ni sola. Hay ayuda disponible las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, a través de nuestra línea de crisis: 503-572-1503.

La violencia doméstica es una epidemia que puede derivar en tragedias devastadoras como esta en cualquier momento. Las madres, los familiares y las amistades que apoyan a un ser querido nunca deberían perder la vida al hacerlo. Debemos mejorar la atención a los sobrevivientes y a sus seres queridos priorizando hoy mismo la prevención, la respuesta y el acceso a servicios de apoyo.
