💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜
This year’s theme, Every1KnowsSome1, is such an important reminder that domestic violence impacts people in every community and often closer to us than we realize.
Throughout October, we’ll be sharing awareness, resources, and ways to support survivors while also talking about healthy relationships, safety, and how domestic violence can connect with sexual violence.
Every survivor deserves to feel supported, heard, and believed💜

Happy National Forensic Science Week! 🔬🧬
This week, we recognize the forensic professionals whose work often happens behind the scenes but plays such an important role in the response to sexual violence.
From the crime scene to the crime lab, these professionals help collect, preserve, analyze, and process critical evidence, including sexual assault evidence kits. Their work supports investigations, helps provide answers, and plays an important role in the pursuit of justice for survivors.
We are incredibly grateful to work alongside dedicated law enforcement agencies and forensic professionals throughout the 19th Judicial Circuit. It takes all of us working together to ensure survivors are supported throughout every step of the process🩵
A special recognition to the Indian River Crime Laboratory, whose forensic professionals provide critical crime laboratory services throughout our four county service area. Their work analyzing evidence, including evidence collected in sexual assault investigations, is an important part of the multidisciplinary response to sexual violence.🧬🔬
We’re also grateful for our law enforcement partners throughout the 19th Judicial Circuit who work alongside our program and community partners in the response to sexual violence:
MartinCountySheriffsOffice
Stuart Police
Port St. Lucie Police

Fort Pierce PD
Indian River County Sheriff’s Office
Vero Beach Police Department
Sebastian Police Department

Thank you for the work you do every day, both seen and unseen, and for continuing to show up for survivors and our communities.
If you or someone you know needs support, our advocates are here to listen, believe, and help.

We aren’t lying when we say we work with some of the BEST agencies here on the Treasure Coast! 🫶🏼
We absolutely love working alongside the Inner Truth Project and seeing the incredible work they continue to do for sexual assault survivors in our community.
This is why collaboration matters so much. When agencies work together, support each other, and connect survivors with the resources they need, our entire community is stronger.
So proud to call The Inner Truth Project one of our community partners and even more proud to see their work and the impact of Groomed continuing to reach people🩵
