Stalking isn’t always obvious—but it is serious, and it can escalate over time. If something doesn’t feel right, help is available. DVSSP’s free, confidential 24/7 helpline connects you with a real person who can listen, answer questions, and help you explore options. 💜 Call 800-791-4000.

💸 Good news for future giving! Starting in 2026, everyone—not just those who itemize—can deduct charitable donations on their taxes!

This means more people will benefit financially when they give to causes they care about—like supporting survivors of domestic violence.
