Disability Pride Month: Exploring the Connections with Domestic Violence

In honor of Disability Pride Month, we’re highlighting these intersections and sharing resources to help advocates and community members better support the needs of disabled survivors.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month

This month, we're spotlighting the intersection of mental health and domestic violence in BIPOC communities.

Explore resources, learn how to support survivors, and join us in working toward healing and justice for all.

NYSCADV is proud to announce a new partnership with Exhale to Inhale, a NYC-based nonprofit that uses trauma-informed yoga to support survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Through this partnership, all staff at NYSCADV member programs now have free access to a 36-week library of on-demand trauma-informed yoga sessions.

These practices are designed to promote healing, reduce stress, and support nervous system regulation. Whether you're looking to enhance your self-care routine or integrate more trauma-informed wellness tools into your work, these sessions are a meaningful, body-based way to build resilience.

Additionally, Exhale to Inhale offers live, public classes twice weekly:

• Wednesdays at 11:30 AM
• Thursdays at 7:00 PM

Interested in offering this resource to survivors?

Domestic Violence, Rape Crisis, and other Victim Services organizations are encouraged to sign up for their own direct (and free) partnership with Exhale to Inhale to extend access to the survivors they serve.
