Becoming More Askable TWO-PART Workshop

The Becoming More Askable workshop is a part of Arlington’s Askable Adult Campaign that prepares any adult who supports middle and high school-aged youth by helping them identify the tools, language and strategies that foster a safe space for youth to feel empowered to discuss issues important to them.

Homelessness in America

"Shelters across the U.S. are reporting a surge in people looking for help, with wait lists doubling or tripling in recent months. The number of homeless people outside of shelters is also probably rising, experts say."

State legislators work to support homeless women who have experienced domestic violence

"Today, in 2022, women are the fastest growing population experiencing homelessness, or outpacing that of men. There are a number of reasons and drivers for that. The number one driver is the experience of domestic violence or interpersonal violence."

Household pets flee violence, too

"'We know that leaving a pet behind is a barrier to fleeing domestic violence,' says Joy Myers, Doorways Chief Development Officer."
