SOS: Survivors Offering Support

SOS: Survivors Offering Support SOS: Survivors Offering Support is a non-profit organization aimed at helping members of the LGBTQ community who have been affected by violence.

It was founded by two survivors of separate, individual hate crimes in order to provide emotional and mental support as well as financial assistance. Through group meetings as well as pairing with licensed therapists, we aim to help anyone affected by senseless violence - whether it be hate crimes, assaults, domestic or sexual - to overcome the internal scars that can stay long after physical ones

have healed. Originally created as an answer to a string of violent assaults in Dallas' LGBTQ Oaklawn community, we are now focused on anyone who could use a support system as they navigate their way through recovery. Twitter - .dfw.tx

Domestic violence in the LGBTQ community is very and very dangerous. We can't continue to be silent. If you or someone you know is currently or has been a survivor of domestic abuse, please reach out to us. The emotional scars remain long after the physical ones heal, but in some instances, as in this heartbreaking case, the physical ones are permanent.

Following the murder of Almonte at the hands of his partner, Broadway performer Marcus Bellamy, we must confront same-sex domestic violence.

Abuse comes in many forms. If you or someone you know is in an unhealthy situation, reach out to us. Our community can survive only if we work together to help each other overcome and not succumb.

Just because it's not physical, doesn't mean it's not abuse.

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of lives lost too early in the tragedy in Orlando. We are with every one of the victim's friends and family, and with the survivors who begin the journey to healing. Violence anywhere is violence everywhere, and what happens to one of us happens to all of us. We are with you, Orlando.
