EMPOWER Newsletter

Every day, survivors in Washington, Greene, and Fayette counties reach out to Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania seeking safety, healing, and hope.

Because of supporters like you, DVSSP is able to provide:

• Emergency safe housing for families fleeing abuse

• Therapy services to help survivors heal from trauma

• Legal advocacy and court accompaniment

• Mobile advocacy and empowerment sessions

• Prevention education for youth and community members

• A 24/7 confidential helpline available day or night

Our services are always free and confidential. That is only possible because of community investment.

Government grants help support portions of our work, but flexible, local donations allow us to respond immediately to the unique needs of each survivor — whether that means emergency essentials, transportation assistance, safety planning support, or specialized resources for children.

Your gift stays local.
Your generosity creates stability.
Your support empowers survivors to rebuild their lives.

When you give to DVSSP, you are not just making a donation — you are helping create a safer, more hopeful future for individuals and families in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Thank you for standing with survivors.
