"A victim can always just leave a DV situation" FACT: Victims cant always just walk away. There are many factors that can make a victim stay. If you had to choose between your kids having a roof over their heads, or you escaping an abuser, which would you choose? #mondaymyths

It's #DisabilityPrideMonth!!! Disability and abuse often go hand in hand. In 2019, it was reported that the rate of violent victimization against persons with disabilities was nearly 4x the rate for persons without. Join the fight to decrease these numbers and spread awareness!
