January is Stalking Awareness Month. It's important to remember that stalking is never your fault; it is a tactic the abuser uses to intimidate and frighten you to regain power and control over you. If you think you are a victim of stalking and need safety planning assistance, our advocates are here 24/7 to talk, chat, or text with you about further options and support. You deserve a life free from abuse and fear. We are here to support you. Call us at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or chat at thehotline.org. #StalkingAwareness #Stalking #DomesticViolence

For Colorado Gives Day 2024, we had 126 donors give a total of $30,758.21 to A Woman's Place. We would not be able to continue our mission without your support. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Together we can help survivors of domestic violence get safely back on their feet.

Did you know there are multiple ways to donate to A Woman's Place? Donations made through the Colorado Gives website of $100 or more may qualify for the 25% Colorado Homeless Contribution Tax Credit.

Domestic violence is often thought to occur behind closed doors in the secrecy of one’s home. But statistics show the effects of domestic violence spill over into many more areas—survivors’ and abusers’ workplaces among them. Consider this: When a survivor decides to leave an abuser, the survivor’s job is often the easiest place for an abuser to track him or her down and harass, stalk, threaten or harm the survivor. In that sense, domestic violence should be considered as much a threat to an employer as it is to their employees. Stephanie Angelo, author and national domestic violence consultant whose company trains companies how to handle workplace violence, says she doesn’t think employers in general take domestic violence as seriously as they should. https://buff.ly/3zLrjco #DomesticViolence #Abuse #DomesticAbuse #DVAM #DVAM2024 #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

Meet Kathryn! She joined our Board of Directors in 2023. When asked why she volunteers at A Woman's Place, she said "Domestic and partner abuse comes in too many forms: verbal, financial, mental, emotional, and of course, physical violence. I’ve seen and known too many people in my life who would have benefited from the services and safety that A Women’s Place offers. I feel privileged to work with an organization that makes such an important community impact."

Leaving an abusive relationship is often much more complicated than it seems. Survivors face numerous barriers that can make leaving incredibly difficult—emotional, financial, cultural, and more. At the National Domestic Violence Hotline, we understand these challenges and are here to provide support every step of the way. Explore our resource on the 50 obstacles survivors may encounter when trying to leave an abusive relationship and learn how we can work together to support those in need. 50 Obstacles to Leaving: https://bit.ly/3BNIE2i #EndDomesticViolence #SupportSurvivors #DomesticViolenceAwareness #NDVH
