Sister José Women’s Center, a Tucson-based nonprofit, is committed to the mission of aiding and uplifting women experiencing homelessness. At their low-barrier day center, they offer unaccompanied women stability and safety, providing them with a refuge to heal from the harsh realities of life in the United States. There are women centers and women's shelters but there are not enough beds. These elderly women are vulnerable, most of them have chronic illness or battling with dementia. They are experiencing homelessness because they cannot afford housing in Tucson anymore. Sweeping away homeless encampments is not the solution. Tucson, how can we help? This is not a rhetorical question: If we all get together, I am sure we can find a solution. https://lnkd.in/d7ttvhkB

From a Caseworker’s Perspective: Today, as we continue through the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, I want to share why this campaign is more than a moment—it's a mission. Every day, I see the strength it takes for women and children to rebuild their lives after facing violence. For some, reaching out is the first step toward safety and healing. At The Family Co. we’re not just witnesses to these stories; we’re partners in creating change. Through safety planning, crisis support, and community education, we work tirelessly to break cycles of violence and empower families to thrive. Our Walk for Respectful Relationships happening this Friday 29th November at Don Lucas Reserve is a step toward building awareness, but the work doesn't stop there. We need your support to amplify this message and extend our services to reach more families. Here's how you can make an impact: Learn: Understand the signs of abuse and how to support someone safely. Speak Up: Start conversations about respect and equality in your community. Act: Join us in advocating for a future free of violence by volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness. If you or someone you know needs help, don’t wait. Reach out to: 📞 The Family Co. (02) 9528 2933 📞 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) – 24/7 National Helpline 📞 Lifeline – 13 11 14 📞 Safe Steps – 1800 015 188 Every action counts. Together, we can build a community where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. #16DaysOfActivism #EndViolence #CaseworkersInAction #RespectfulRelationships

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month here in the United States. While SBPAS, Inc is small, the reach we have is astounding with respect to the number of clients that we have and the families that we assist. This October, considering donating to ANY smaller nonprofit or ANY local shelter rather than to the larger organizations. Here are just a few reasons why: 1. Smaller organizations and shelters do not get the amount of funding that larger more well known organizations get. We are largely overlooked. 2. Your local organizations and shelters need help! Sure donating to national organizations is great, but it’s the smaller ones that are struggling to remain open and active. 3. Donations don’t have to be monetary. Donate your time. Donate old clothing. Donate food, toys and hygiene products. I founded SBPAS, Inc from the bedroom of my abusive home while planning my own escape. When I finally got out, I was in shelter for 6 weeks and struggled to rebuild my life. That’s when it hit me - there was a void. I was in an amazing shelter and they helped me with everything, well, everything EXCEPT family law help for my divorce and custody. I was able to get a protection order, housing, clothing, and essentials for our new home - but there was nothing they could do to help me battle an abusive ex that was targeting our child. I fought that battle alone. It changed my life forever. I went back to school and graduated summa cum laude with my eyes set on law school and becoming an attorney. While I’m not an attorney yet, I am a nationally recognized and award winning domestic violence and legal advocate, an experienced paralegal registered with the ABA and NALA, and have even been called for expert testimony. I’ve written articles and provided training to legal professionals. The reality is, my area doesn’t have legal aid, while there is an organization that provides it for my county and 12 other counties, I have referred 73 cases to them in the last 12 months and they have taken ZERO. Each time my clients hear that they can’t accept a complicated case, that it would be different if it weren’t so complex. Family court with an abusive party is anything but simple. Victims, men and women alike, are losing custody of their children at a startling rate. SBPAS provides services in the void. We offer legal skills workshops to help those in this area represent themselves when legal aid refuses them, we provide direct legal advocacy, we provide curriculums and training to legal professionals and created Survivor Link. A nationwide peer support program that links victims and survivors so they don’t have to attend hearings alone. If you feel the urge to donate this October, find your smaller organizations and your local shelters. Trust me, we need your help!

One Week Away: Giving Tuesday - Turning Red + Blue Into Purple for Domestic Violence Awareness Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. This year, we’re uniting red and blue—colors often seen as opposites—to create purple, the color of domestic violence awareness. Purple is a symbol of courage, survival, and hope for those impacted by domestic violence. On this day of giving, we have the opportunity to stand together, raise awareness, and provide vital support for survivors and their families. Whether through donations, sharing resources, or simply spreading the message, every action helps create a future where safety and empowerment replace fear and isolation. Let’s make an impact—one step closer to a world free from domestic violence. Mark your calendars and join us next Tuesday to give hope and make purple louder than ever. #GivingTuesday #DVAM #Hope #SupportSurvivors #EndDomesticViolence
