July is Disability Pride Month

Disability Pride Month was established to recognize the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of people with disabilities. It was established in July to honor the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) being signed into law on July 26th, 1990.

According to AmeriDisability, 1 in 4 people in the United States have a disability. However, some people believe that disabilities are a physical ailment to someone. Disability is more than something physical; it comes in numerous shapes and sizes and may not be seen from the outside.

This year’s theme is “We Belong Here, and We’re Here to Stay” and is reflective of New Hope’s values. Everyone affected by sexual and domestic violence is welcome at New Hope, including survivors living with disabilities, both visible and unseen.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month

Communities who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color suffer from a gap in mental health care and treatment. Only 31% of BIPOC communities receive treatment for their mental health care, compared to almost 50% of white communities who receive treatment (Cleveland Clinic, 2022). Additionally, 4 out of 10 BIPOC-identified people have been a victim of sexual or domestic violence in their lifetime (Harmony House, 2021).

The disparities in BIPOC treatment stems from barriers in the healthcare system for BIPOC communities, including current stigmas, limited access to care, language barriers, and distrust in the healthcare system (ERG, 2025).

At New Hope, all services are free, confidential and available for all people, regardless of race, gender, national origin, immigration status, or identity. Learn more about the diverse services we offer.

Donate Gift Cards to Survivors!

New Hope is looking for donations for $25 gift cards for survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

Survivors of sexual and domestic violence are reclaiming power and control over their own lives because that’s what their abusers had taken from them. Giving them gift cards as a form of support that empowers survivors to identify and meet their most critical needs.

All gift cards can be mailed to:
