Let’s work together to stop abuse
At Hope & Justice Project, we firmly believe that in order to stop abuse and violence, a lot of change need to take place in our society – what we know about domestic abuse, what we tolerate, who we believe abuse affects … and how each of us can help.
So, through awareness events both outside and within Domestic Violence Awareness Month and through community-based trainings for adults and school-based education programs for youth, we work to …
- Promote healthy relationships. Everyone deserves to experience a happy, joyful relationship.
- Understand abuse. What is abuse? – an intentional pattern of coercive, controlling, and often violent behavior that keeps the abuser in a powerful position and his or her intimate partner or family members feeling
trapped and afraid. - Counteract myths about abuse.
- Help people recognize the warning signs and symptoms of domestic violence or teen dating violence – the first step toward
ending it. - Provide support for individuals and professionals so they can:
- Help victims plan for safety.
- Hold abusers accountable.
- Repair the harm abusers cause.
- Change the mindsets that cause abuse and violence to allow both to go on.
We believe that until we – as a community, as a society – have a common understanding about abuse… until we have the same answer to the question, “What is abuse?”… we can’t respond in a unified voice and say, “Enough. No more.”
We believe everyone has the right to respect, safety, and happiness.
We believe it will take all of us to put an end to domestic abuse and violence.
