If you are a victim of domestic violence, please DO NOT share your story on this page as anyone can read it. If you are in immediate danger call 911.

If you need help, please call our confidential HOTLINE at (860) 364-1900. (formerly Women’s Support Services)

We create social change to end interpersonal, relationship violence by challenging attitudes and beliefs about power, control, and gender norms and by advocating for victims and survivors. We envision a world in which everyone can be themselves, have healthy relationships, and live free of interpersonal, relationship violence. Our strategies to achieve this are to:
• Engage youth and adults in learning about attitudes and beliefs about gender norms; how the exercise of power and control influences relational choices; and how unhealthy relationship choices contribute to interpersonal, relationship violence.
• Challenge widely accepted but damaging gender norms and societal role expectations within organizations & our communities.
• Coordinate responses to address immediate and long lasting effects of interpersonal, relationship violence.

What makes this artwork beautiful? Our differences.

Every color, pattern, and design is unique. Created by different hands, with different ideas. Yet together, they become something extraordinary.

That's the inspiration behind Project SAGE's Piece x Piece initiative - celebrating individuality while recognizing the importance of respect, belonging, and connection.

We're delighted these artworks have found homes at Housatonic Valley Regional HS, Kent Center School, Cornwall Consolidated School, Salisbury Central School, and North Canaan Elementry School. Thank you to our school partners.

There's room for every one of us. 💜

A special thank-you to our Project SAGE educator Sarah, whose creativity and dedication brought Piece x Piece from an idea to a beautiful community project and artwork.

Some stories are too inspiring not to share.💜

At Project SAGE, confidentiality is at the heart of everything we do. We rarely share personal stories, and we never share actual photographs of our clients. But sometimes, a story reminds us so powerfully of what’s possible that we want to celebrate it.

Today, we’re celebrating three remarkable young mothers who, after months is shelter, took extraordinary steps toward rebuilding their lives.

They moved into stable housing, pursued career training, found employment, and began creating greater independence for themselves and their children.

They did the rebuilding. Project SAGE and a caring community helped provide the support around them.

We share their story with pride, and with the hope that it might inspire someone facing their own difficult circumstances.

A different future is possible.

Have you seen THE CRASH on Netflix?

With more than 65 million views, it's one of the year's most-watched documentaries - and it's sparking important questions about young relationships.

As part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Project SAGE and Interval House invite you to join us for a virtual online conversation inspired by the film.

We'll explore the complexities of young relationships and the behaviors we see in the documentary. What's typical? What's troubling? Where do you think the line is between normal relationship challenges and warning signs of something more serious?

This isn't a lecture. It's an opportunity to share perspectives, ask questions, and hear what others think.

Tuesday, October 27 - 6PM.
Virtual/Online
Register Interval House CT. Link in Bio.

We won't have time to watch the film so please watch prior.

A little purple, a lot of heart. 💜

On Purple Thursday, we're reminded purple is more than a color. It reflects the work we care deeply about every day - supporting survivors, educating young people, and helping build safer communities.

We're your neighbors, your community partners, and people you can turn to.

Project SAGE is here. 💜

Last night, 68 people came together in remembrance, hope and community.

We poured red sand, walked together by candlelight, and gathered at Project SAGE to honor the 23 lives lost to domestic violence in Connecticut-people ranging in age from just 1 month to 83 years.

Each name was a reminder of why we gather, why we speak up, and why our work towards change matters.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, stood together, and helped make the evening so meaningful.

Remembrance brings us together. Hope moves us forward.💜
