I AM A VICTIM
My husband is physically abusive and I need a safe place to stay. I’ve been sexually assaulted by a coworker. I’m a teen whose in an uncomfortable situation. I’ve been raped and I don’t know what to do. I need help placing a restraining order. I am an immigrant that needs legal protection. I have documents in English that I need help understanding. I’m queer and I’m a victim of a hate crime.
I AM A FAMILY MEMBER
I suspect my child has been violated and I don’t know where to turn. My daughter is in an abusive relationship. My family lives in fear of deportation and we need help with legal concerns. My daughter may have been date raped. My elderly parent is a victim of a crime. My gay son is being bullied. My son’s friend doesn’t seem to have a home and may be in trouble. My niece is being stalked.
I AM A COMMUNITY RESOURCE
I work in the schools and I’m interested in learning more about your awareness programs for young adults. I am a nurse and would like to learn more about joining your SANE and SART teams. I work for a local human service agency and I want to learn more about referrals and information. I am a lawyer and would like to donate my services. I’m a local counselor, how can I help?
UPCOMING EVENTS & HIGHLIGHTS
Wear Jeans on April 28
Denim Day this year will be recognized on Wednesday, April 28.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and Denim Day is a call to action for all people to come together by wearing denim as a visible sign of protest against sexual violence. Open Heart Advocates carries on this tradition, and we wear denim to dispel harmful myths about sexual violence and survivors.
Every year we ask community members, elected officials, businesses and students to make a social statement with their fashion by pulling out their favorite pair of jeans to wear in honor of Denim Day.
