2020 may look a little different this year, but our dedication to Domestic Violence Awareness Month is unwavering! My Sister’s House has adapted to these unprecedented times with a wide variety of virtual and socially-distanced events. #domesticviolenceawareness #mysistershouse

[My Sister's House @MSH_Charleston]

Don’t stay silent – it’s time to speak up all month long. This year, MSH invites you to join us virtually to speak up against #domesticviolence. We’ve put together a series of virtual events to support survivors of domestic violence and rededicate ourselves to breaking the cycle.

Is it healthy -- where you & your partner are honest and respectful to each other?

Or is it unhealthy -- where you & your partner may fight rather than discussing problems openly?

Domestic and sexual violence advocates give a great deal of paid and unpaid labor to this movement. They've been on the front lines since #COVID19 began and aren't always recognized for their essential work. This #LaborDay, tag a local org to thank them for all they do. 💜

Abuse is about #power and #control, so one of the most important ways you can help a loved one in an abusive #relationship is to consider how you might empower them to make their own decisions.

Survivors of #DomesticViolence & #SexualAssault are particularly vulnerable during the #COVID19 crisis. The Senate must build on the #HEROESAct to address the needs of ALL survivors of violence.

When money becomes a form of control:

-Your partner gives you an allowance
-Your partner places all your paychecks into their account
