Will you join us this Giving Tuesday?

Dear friends,

As the winter holidays approach and this year draws to a close, we at the National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma, and Mental Health (NCDVTMH) wish you, your loved ones, and your community health and safety.

Amid a second year of the COVID-19 pandemic and a new landscape of remote learning, working, and connecting, we remain proud of the creative ways programs, coalitions, and providers have met the moment and adapted to meet survivors where they are.

Collaborative, trauma-informed approaches across the fields of domestic and sexual violence, mental health, and substance use are essential for serving survivors in this new era.

With your support, we at NCDVTMH are honored to lead the national conversation on comprehensive, multi-pronged responses to the multifaceted challenges survivors face, including:

• Championing survivors with substance use and mental health concerns by educating Congress about the long-term impacts of trauma

• Centering families and nurturing parent-child relationships in all DV programming

• Advocating for pregnant survivors by informing policy on intimate partner violence and maternal and child health

• Documenting survivors’ complex substance use- and mental health-related needs and highlighting DV programs’ capacity to meet them

This work takes all of us—coalition building, movement work, ensuring survivors and their families can flourish—calls on all of us to stand together.

On this global day of giving, join us in this crucial work. Together, we can increase the safety and well-being of survivors, their families, and their communities.
