DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

This October, we remember those whose lives were taken, support those still experiencing abuse, and stand beside those trying to rebuild.

At TRG, you matter... including the days when you are exhausted, unsure, or simply trying to get through.

For those supporting someone who is or has experienced abuse... please listen to the survivor.

Please ask what they need before you feel the need to ask why they stayed. Offer help without taking over their decisions. And please do not expect their pain or trauma to disappear because the relationship ended. Healing is a journey... and that journey belongs to the survivor only.

If you are in the U.S. and need confidential support with relationship abuse, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
