DOVE, Inc. - In Case You Missed It - Our Appeal to You
Transitioning from a self-sacrifice mentality to a self-love mindset can feel uncomfortable and strange – especially when you have been putting yourself last, putting yourself below someone who is emotionally abusive, belittling, narcissistic, controlling, gaslighting, and dangerous. DOVE recognizes how complex and difficult these transitions can be, and we are here to help individuals navigate the choppy waters. When someone comes to DOVE for help, we work with them to see their choice as choosing freedom, safety, opportunity, hope. We see the transition from domestic violence to liberation as the locus of empowerment, the threshold upon which a person moves from victim to survivor and ultimately to thriver. However long this journey may be, DOVE supports a survivor to (re)claim a life that may have been temporarily taken away but now bears the signs of being capable of all the success, joy, and possibility they can imagine!
If you or someone you know is inspired to support DOVE’s mission, please make a donation in an amount that will transform your heart and transition a survivor into hope and healing.
And if you or someone you know needs support or even just wants to talk to a DOVE advocate to better understand what might be going on in their life, please don’t wait – we’re here for you!
With gratitude,
Mick Hirsch
Executive Director
