The holidays can be a time of joy and togetherness, but for many survivors of domestic abuse, this season may bring a mix of emotions—complex memories, grief, or feelings of isolation. To anyone navigating this: ✨ You are not alone. ✨ Your feelings are valid. ✨ Your safety and peace are what matter most. If this season feels heavy, it’s okay to set boundaries, reach out for support, or take time for yourself. Healing is a journey, and your well-being comes first. 💛 Let’s also remember to be compassionate to those around us; you never know what someone might be carrying. For anyone in need of help, here’s a resource to share: 📞DAWN's 24-Hour Advocacy and Support Line: 425-656-7867 💻 dawnrising.org This holiday season, may we create space for kindness, understanding, and hope. 💕 #SupportSurvivors #YouAreNotAlone #HolidaysWithCompassion

We're taking a second today to celebrate some #goodnews our advocates have shared over the last month! 👏 In Washington state, domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children. At DAWN we are dedicated to not only providing emergency housing for high lethality clients, but we are dedicated to helping survivors connect with the housing programs, benefits, and resources they need to find a safe secure permanent home. If you, or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence and needs help, please call our 24-hour advocacy and support line at 425-656-7867 or visit our website at www.dawnrising.org. #GoodNewsTues #SupportSurvivors #AdvocateAppreciation
