A temporary restraining order should mean safety.

The Lori Jackson-Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivors Protection Act seeks to close a loophole that can leave survivors vulnerable during one of the most dangerous periods of an abusive relationship.

Named in memory of Lori Jackson, an Oxford mother of two who was killed while a temporary restraining order was in place, this legislation would help strengthen protections for survivors when they need them most.

Each year, BHcare honors Lori's memory through the Lori Jackson Walk and continues to advocate for policies that help protect survivors and prevent future tragedies.

Protecting survivors saves lives. Watch, learn more, and help raise awareness. 💜

💜 Today, BHcare wore purple for a purpose.

From our offices and programs to our thrift store (and even a few furry friends 🐾), staff across BHcare participated in Purple Thursday to raise awareness about domestic violence and honor survivors.

Every photo is a reminder that survivors are not alone. Together, we stand for safety, healing, hope, and a future free from violence.

Hope can't wait. 💜

For someone experiencing domestic violence, safety can't wait. Support can't wait. A place to sleep can't wait. A child living in fear can't wait.

At Sound of Hope, survivors, advocates, law enforcement, elected officials, and community members came together to send a clear message: help must be available when it's needed most.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, free and confidential support is available 24/7 through CT Safe Connect at 888-774-2900.
