Tri-Valley Haven has ONLINE Support Groups during COVID!

These are hard times for everyone, but if you are a survivor of sexual assault or domestic violence, sheltering in place and dealing with a pandemic could be just one of many stressful things you are dealing with. Tri-Valley Haven has moved its 8-week long support groups online in order to be there for you or your loved ones. Please call our office number at (925) 449-5845 and leave a message in our Intake voicemail to sign up for a group.

Estos son tiempos dificiles para todos, pero si usted es una sobreviviente de agresion sexual o violencia domestica, refugiarse en el lugar y enfrentar una pandemia podria ser solo una de las muchas cosas estresantes con las que estas lidiando. Tri-Valley Haven ha movido sus grupos de apoyo de 8 semanas en linea para estar alli para usted o sus seres queridos. Llame a nuestro numero de oficina al (925) 449-5845 y deje un mensaje en nuestro correo de voz de admision para inscribirse en un grupo.

Also Online! VOLUNTEER TRAINING BEGINS IN AUGUST!

Just because there is a pandemic doesn't mean volunteer opportunities at Tri-Valley Haven have all gone away. In fact, we need your help more than ever! If you want to help others during COVID, our crisis line needs you and our survivors need you. Even at home, you can be trained to answer our crisis line and provide a lifeline of support for the most vulnerable in our community.

For a World Without Violence, Black Lives Must Matter To Everyone

At Tri-Valley Haven our tagline for years has been, "Together we build a world without violence." How can we reach a world without violence when we look at what is happening today? We have to keep the faith in possible change and in our ability to make it happen. It will take ALL of us.

We must call upon our most courageous selves to stand up for what is right. We believe that shared equity for all is the path to peace. Without oppression, no one person or group of people would be regarded as "less" than another. In sexual assault and family violence services we know we must sometimes be the voice for survivors who are unable to speak out. Their risks may be lethal.

George Floyd had his voice silenced and our collective hearts break. At the same time, we are filled with rage and frustration. We weep and scream "Black Lives Matter!"

What can we do? Not everyone can protest. We are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of us can VOTE. We can write letters. We can speak up. Some of us can contribute to organizations that reflect our values. Support Black Lives Matter. Educate ourselves. DO something. Let's all do what we can every day. Be mindful of the fact that we have power in this situation; we have a voice. Some of us enjoy privilege. Let's use it thoughtfully to be allies of and instruments for change.

The more we commit to learn about and respect each other, the closer we get to a world without violence...or better yet, the closer we get to the Beloved Community that Dr. King spoke about so eloquently.

Sincerely,

Ann King, Executive Director & Tri-Valley Haven Community

REMINDER: HAVEN FOOD PANTRY OPEN DURING SHELTER-IN-PLACE

Our food pantry at 418 Junction Avenue, Livermore, remains open during the statewide shelter-in-place, providing food and resources to those in need in our community and we are taking steps to try to keep the food pantry environment safe for employees and those coming to us for help.
