#FreeAdviceFriday
Nothing's spookier than a lack of information, but did you know - EVERY county in NYS has a domestic violence program to assist survivors and connect them with resources? Find yours at opdv.ny.gov/domestic-vio...

Know Your Rights! on red background. Be sure to advocate for yourself! DSS is required by law to provide placement that meets your needs. Support and service animals are NOT pets. Ask for a reasonable accommodation request form at intake! For more info and resources, visit: nls.org
Nearly half of DV survivors stay in abusive situations rather than leave their pet behind and many shelters do not allow pets. But don't forget - you have the RIGHT to reasonable accommodations!

Domestic Violence is a taboo topic in many communities but should be discussed for prevention and to support those affected by domestic violence. #withsurvivorsalways 💜

Words can wound or heal.
Verbal abuse isn’t “just words” — it’s manipulation and humiliation that leave deep emotional scars.
But every kind word helps someone feel seen. 💜

NYU Silver logo above text reading “October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month” with a purple Domestic Violence Awareness ribbon below.
October is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. The theme, #WithSurvivorsAlways, underscores the need for support & solidarity with those who’ve experienced abuse. Dr. Edith Chapparo, MSW ’03, who teaches our Family Violence course, offered advice on standing with survivors. (1/4)
"With Survivors, Always" purple logo with heart.
On average, 24 people/minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by a partner. Domestic violence affects over 80k people in NY every year.
This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we're reflecting on all the ways we can uplift, support, & stand #WithSurvivorsAlways
