We will also be adding other programs such as: Legal Advocacy, Outreach & Education for the Community, hotel vouchers for shelter, and material assistance.  PAVE looks forward to serving the community, building new relationships and working together to empower those affected by violence.  We are confident that 2019 will bring addition accomplishments and  new challenges.  We look forward to serving both Dodge and Jefferson counties going forward.

Helping Survivors during the Holidays

We all start to prepare for the holiday season, hanging lights and decorating our homes; as it is supposed to be a joyful and peaceful time to many of us.  Unfortunately, the holidays can be an even more dangerous time than usual for those at risk for domestic violence.

Some of the reasons the risk of intimate partner violence increases during the holiday season can be caused by the financial stress of buying gifts to an overall increase of alcohol consumption.   Family gatherings can be stressful;   survivors don’t want to disturb their family cohesiveness on these days.  Survivors of abuse don’t want to disturb family rituals or separate children from their family during a holiday, regardless of abuse that may be occurring.  Survivors can’t find a private time to make a call for support, however calls will often increase above normal levels the days and weeks following a holiday.

PAVE is available 24/7. There is always a trained advocate here to help with any questions, to safety plan, or provide options counseling.  PAVE is here to help victims and survivors through the holiday season.

PAVE is always here for victims

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  PAVE knows that domestic violence thrives when we are silent. Safety is a human right. We believe everyone deserves a safe space and home should be a place of peace and refuge. No one should have to worry about making it through the day unharmed. Domestic violence is the third leading cause of homelessness in families. In 2017, PAVE provided 4,077 nights of shelter.

During October, we invite you to take a moment to remember those who have died due to domestic violence, celebrate those who have survived and connect to those who work to end violence. One in three women and one in four men have been victims of physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact us. All of our services are free and confidential.
