We provide support to survivors of domestic violence.

La Casa de las Madres acts boldly to create a community where violence against women and children is not tolerated. We envision a society in which all individuals and families have equal access to basic resources and asset-building opportunities.  We envision a future where safety and respect in intimate relationships are the norm .

To achieve this future, La Casa offers a continuum of comprehensive and empowering services to women, teens, and children exposed to and at risk of abuse.  We provide access, tools and support—clinical and peer-based—that strengthen their ability to affect change and break the cycle of violence.

To us, “I Ask” also has a second meaning.

Survivors: we see you. We hear you. We believe you 💓 #repost @frizzkidart ・・・ Today’s affirmation art: Even if you can’t tell your story, I hear you, I believe you. 💜 Remember, not everyone is able to disclose stories about the abuse they have been through. While it is incredibly brave to share ones story, it’s not safe for everyone. Even if you can’t tell your story, your trauma is still real; not sharing it doesn’t invalidate it. If you can’t disclose publicly, remember there are still people who believe you, and who honour your truth. #art #artists #illustration #affirmation #feministart #feminist #stoprapeculture #healing #ibelievesurvivors #survivor #smashthepatriarchy
