The Fight Against Domestic Violence in North Texas: How The Family Place is Making a Difference

by Volunteer Coordinator | Oct 02, 2024

Domestic violence remains a significant issue in North Texas, affecting individuals and families across the region. For many, escaping the cycle of abuse can feel impossible without the right support. That’s where The Family Place steps in, providing crucial services to those impacted by domestic violence.

As the largest family violence service provider in Texas, The Family Place offers emergency shelter, counseling, and a range of life-saving resources to help survivors rebuild their lives. Our comprehensive programs include legal assistance, education for children, and community-based counseling, ensuring survivors receive the support they need at every step of their journey.

Recently, Dr. Aaliyah G. Miranda, Ed.D., Sr. Director of Residential Programs at The Family Place, appeared on Telemundo to raise awareness about the critical services we offer and to emphasize the importance of breaking the cycle of violence. Her powerful message resonated with viewers, further amplifying the impact of our work. You can watch her full interview here.

Beyond direct services, The Family Place actively works to raise awareness about domestic violence and its impact on our communities. Through education and outreach, they strive to create a safer future for everyone.

This fight is ongoing, but with the help of dedicated organizations like The Family Place—and advocates like Dr. Aaliyah—North Texas is taking meaningful steps toward ending domestic violence and supporting those affected by it.
