There Is A Staircase, Start Climbing

Sometimes, even the smallest step forward can lead to a new beginning. If you're living with domestic violence, that first step might feel impossible, but it's also the bravest one you can take. You don't have to see the whole staircase to start climbing.

Know that you deserve a life where you feel safe, valued, and respected. Every day you survive is a testament to your strength. It's okay to reach out for help. It's okay to want more for yourself.

Take one small step today. Maybe it's just acknowledging how you feel. Maybe it's reaching out to a trusted friend or looking up a local resource online. Every positive move, no matter how tiny it seems, is a step towards a brighter, safer future.
