As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, our team at Family Support Services is reminded that while October ends, our mission never does. Every day, survivors in our community face fears far greater than any Halloween story, but with advocacy and support fear is transformed into safety and hope.

Throughout October, we came together to raise awareness, honor survivors, and shine light into the darkness. Because when our community unites, hope always finds a way.

🕯️ From all of us at FSS, thank you for standing with survivors, helping us share stories of courage, and keeping the conversation alive. Your support ensures that hope continues to glow long after the month ends. 💜

In our third episode of the Domestic Violence Coalition Educational Series, we hear from some of the DVC on what to do if you or someone you know is experiencing Domestic Violence.

The Domestic Violence Coalition is a multi-agency partnership dedicated to preventing abuse, supporting survivors, and holding offenders accountable.
In today’s video, the DVC explains how they determine and handle high lethality DV cases.

👉 Watch, share, and save this video — you never know when this information could help you or someone you care about.
📞 If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please reach out through our 24/7 Crisis Helpline: 806-374-5433

✨ Friday Spotlight ✨

Today’s spotlight might fall on Halloween 🎃, but there’s nothing frightening here! She’s scary good at what she does, fang-tastically caring, and a wickedly great leader! 💜

Today we’d like to take a moment to highlight Hannah Wetmore. Hannah is the Safe House Manager and ensures that every survivor at the Safe House feels welcomed, cared for, and supported. She oversees daily operations, making sure residents and staff have what they need while creating a safe and healing environment where survivors can rebuild their lives.

Inspired by the connections she builds and the opportunity to empower women, Hannah finds purpose in walking alongside survivors during their most vulnerable moments and helping them regain confidence, peace, and stability.

Originally from Dalhart, Texas, Hannah earned her Bachelor of Science in Community, Family, and Addiction Sciences from Texas Tech University. After interning at Safe Place in Dumas and attending SANE training with FSS, she knew she had found her calling. Since joining FSS in 2018, she has continued to be inspired by a team united in building a safer, stronger community. Outside of work, Hannah enjoys spending time with her husband, baby boy, and family. Thank you so much for all you do Hannah!

❗️Did you know❗️The City of Amarillo has no ordinance regulating where registered s*x offenders may live, meaning s*x offenders not on probation or parole can live anywhere in the city.
We urge parents to check the list before trick or treating tomorrow night. More info below 👇

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

This month, we want to take a moment to remember the children who are often the unseen victims in homes affected by domestic violence.

Children in these situations may be accidentally hurt while trying to protect a parent, experience abuse themselves, or grow up believing that violence is part of a normal relationship. The impact can last a lifetime.

It takes all of us, as a community, to protect victims and break the cycle of abuse. If you see something, say something — and if you know someone who needs help, please encourage them to reach out for support.

Together, we can make sure that victims — especially children — are safe, supported, and never forgotten. 💜

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. For local support and resources, there are local partners such as Family Support Services who can help the entire family.
