Bridges: Domestic & Sexual Violence Support of Greater Nashua & Milford, NH

06/23/2026

In honor of Pride Month, we are here to spread awareness about Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). IPV in the LGBTQIA+ communities is often misunderstood and underrecognized due to stigma, stereotypes, and barriers to support.

Abuse can affect people of all identities and relationships, yet many experiences go unseen or unheard. Raising awareness helps break misconceptions, encourage conversations, support survivors, and remind people that everyone deserves relationships rooted in safety, respect, and dignity. 💜🏳️‍🌈

Juneteenth is a day of freedom, resilience, and remembrance.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, enslaved people in Texas finally learned that they were free.

Today we celebrate Black history, culture, strength, and the continued journey toward equality.💜

With the World Cup underway, we want to take a moment to highlight an important issue: human trafficking.

Large-scale sporting events like the World Cup can create increased opportunities for human trafficking and sexual exploitation, especially when events are taking place close to home, such as at Gillette Stadium.

Stay informed. Know the signs. Speak up if you suspect abuse.

If you see a child in immediate danger, call 911. If you are in Massachusetts and notice suspicious behavior, contact the Child-at-Risk Hotline at 1-800-792-5200. If you are in southern New Hampshire or within Bridges’ service area, contact the Bridges 24/7 Support Line at (603) 883-3044.
