💜 Save the Date! 💜

We’re excited to announce the 2nd Annual Survive & Thrive Community Event!

📅 October 9
📍 Downtown Durham Library
⏰ 12–3 PM

Survive & Thrive is a reminder to everyone who considers themselves a survivor that there is so much more life to live after abuse. There is healing, connection, joy, and community on the other side.

If you joined us last year, you’ll remember the incredible group of 25+ local organizations working at the intersection of domestic violence, sexual assault, and mental health. We’re bringing the community together again this year for an afternoon of connection, resources, and celebration.

Mark your calendar and plan to join us! We can’t wait to see you there. 💜

To every mother who survived domestic violence: your strength is seen, your love matters, and your story did not end in survival.

You are still here. That alone is powerful.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Domestic Violence, including intimate-partner violence, family violence, sexual assault and human trafficking, leaves lasting invisible impacts like depression, anxiety, and C/PTSD. People living with mental health conditions may also face greater risk of abuse, making support and care essential. Your mind matters!

We met some new cool folks, hung out with volunteers, played some games, shared about our work and opportunities to engage with us, painted jeans in honor of Denim Day, heard from community partners, and ate yummy food!
