😮 It's estimated that 28,800 people that needed

😮 It's estimated that 28,800 people that needed help from law enforcement during a domestic violence situation lost the ability to call for help while 911 was down during Hurricane Helene. ➡️ At Project R.E.S.T. we experienced first hand that DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DID NOT STOP in our area during the hurricane. Our 24/7 crisis line was up and running and taking calls to help our community.

💜 We want to thank our staff for setting aside personal needs during the hurricane to jump in and help on our crisis line.

🕯️ The Spartanburg community came together in

🕯️ The Spartanburg community came together in Morgan Square for a Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) Silent Vigil hosted by our team at Project R.E.S.T. 💜 Local leaders, government officials, law enforcement, and community members stood in solidarity to honor those lost to domestic violence and raise awareness for survivors.

✨ These moments of reflection remind us of the power of unity in the fight to end domestic violence. Together, we can make a difference.

Domestic violence rarely appears suddenly; it ofte

Domestic violence rarely appears suddenly; it often unfolds gradually. Abusers create a deceptive sense of trust with their victims, initiating small acts of control or aggression before escalating to more severe forms of violence and abuse.

Understanding the cycle of violence is crucial for violence prevention because it helps identify patterns and triggers that can lead to violent behavior.

When we understand these signs, individuals and communities can take proactive steps to disrupt them before conflicts escalate into violence.

Having the language to comprehend the signs of abu

Having the language to comprehend the signs of abuse empowers individuals and communities- it allows us not only to identify potential cases but also to take proactive measures in preventing them.

Understanding key terms related to abuse—such as emotional manipulation, physical violence, or coercive control—enables us to recognize red flags early on. This awareness can foster a culture where victims feel safe disclosing their experiences without fear of judgment.

Furthermore, when we articulate our concerns clearly, it facilitates conversations that can lead to intervention and support from friends, family, or professionals.
