How Can You Help a Friend?
by Shailaja Dixit, SAVE DV Advocate/LIGHT Program Coordinator
The shelter in place order has dramatically increased the danger for survivors of intimate partner violence. During this time, if you think someone you know might be experiencing abuse at home, how can you help as a friend?
Don’t Give Up!
by Annie Olea, SAVE Housing First Manager
Indefinite isolation, scarce resources, and information overload could trigger anxiety, depression, and many unchecked emotions. This is especially a difficult time for DV survivors to relive the trauma of isolation. We ask you to please reach out to a friend, co-worker, or family member to check in with their safety and support needs.
