Yesterday, the Tennessee Judicial Commissioners’ Conference brought together 125 attendees committed to strengthening our state’s justice system. Our Director of Community Relations and Secretary of the Domestic Violence State Coordinating Council had the honor of presenting on Domestic Violence and Orders of Protection — a vital conversation in advancing justice, safety, and equity across Tennessee. This annual conference focuses on increasing knowledge, understanding new laws, and promoting fairness in the application of Tennessee law for the benefit of both the Judicial System and the citizens we serve. 👩‍⚖️👨‍⚖️ Thank you to all who attended and continue to lead with purpose and compassion. #TennesseeJustice #OrdersOfProtection #JudicialLeadership #StrongerTogether (fb)

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month Every survivor’s story is different — but knowing how to show up for them can make a world of difference. This #SAAM, we’re sharing 6 meaningful ways you can support survivors with compassion and care ⬇️ 1️⃣ Believe Them – Survivors need to be believed, not questioned. 2️⃣ Hold Space and Listen – Your presence can be more powerful than advice. 3️⃣ Ask How You Can Best Support Them – Let them guide what they need. 4️⃣ Educate Yourself and Others – Don’t rely on survivors to do the emotional labor. 5️⃣ Check-in – Support is ongoing. Keep showing up. 6️⃣ Maintain Confidentiality – Trust is everything. Protect it. Save this post, share it, and help us create a culture of empathy, understanding, and safety. 📲 Need help or know someone who does?
