Now’s the time – The Big Payback is here!

 

       

We’ve been counting down the days to The Big Payback. The excitement surrounding 24 hours of Middle Tennesseans coming together to support the nonprofit community is contagious. And thanks to supporters like you, we are able to continue our vital work in bridging the gaps to reduce health disparities while making a positive impact in Middle Tennessee.   In the past three years, more than $6.75 million has been raised for our community. Let’s rally together to make The Big Payback 2017 even BIGGER.

  

Our Cause

 

Domestic violence can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender. It can happen to couples who are married, living together or who are dating. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.

 

  • * One in four women (25%) has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime.

  • * Nearly three out of four (74%) of Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence.

  • * On average, more than three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners in this country every day.

 

 

    Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure or wound someone. Take a stand with us and help us stop domestic violence in Nashville Davidson county and surrounding areas. Our mission is to bridge the gaps to reduce health disparities. The women and children of our community are counting on your time and donations. Thank you so much in advance for your support.

Healthy and happy relationships help to make you feel better about yourself. A positive relationship can increase your outlook on life, increase your productivity and increase your self-esteem. Love should make you feel good, safe, and happy about the future. Unhealthy relationships can make us feel unhappy, unsafe, and fearful of the future. Unfortunately many people are in hurtful, unsafe, or violent relationships. It can happen to anyone i.e. mothers, wives, students, teachers, celebrities, and even you. You do not deserve to be hurt. Domestic violence has no race, ethnic origin, creed or age limit. We all get angry sometimes, but when we do, we all have choices. We can choose to express ourselves in healthy ways. In healthy relationships, partners help each other feel good about themselves. Insults, unkind words, and humiliation are very hurtful; they are disrespectful and make you feel badly about yourselves. In loving relationships, partners respect each other's needs. Being jealous or trying to control someone else does not show love. In healthy relationships, partners care about and respect each other's sexual needs and limits. Forcing or hurting someone in a sexual way is physically and emotionally damaging. It's wrong and it's against the law. In healthy relationships, partners help each other feel loved and safe. Hurting someone physically is never okay, it doesn't solve anything, and it's against the law. Violent behavior and fear make a person feel unsafe. In order for children to know they are loved, they need to feel safe, too. In healthy families, partners share the care and responsibilities of the children including the fun ones as well as the difficult ones. They create a safe and secure home life for the family. Hurting children is never okay, and it's against the law. Children can be removed from a home where they are being abused. In healthy relationships, partners feel proud of how they have learned to express caring for each other. In relationships that are unhealthy, abusive behavior may become dangerous. Even if your partner apologizes and promises that it won't happen again, it is likely to get worse. Nothing you say or do should cause your partner to hurt you.

If you answered yes to these questions, you may be feeling that your relationship is healthy and happy.

If you've answered yes to any of these questions, you are being treated badly. Signs of abuse like these may mean that you're not safe in your relationship - and it may get worse.
