We asked our staff how they hold the door open at Grace Smith House. This is what our Community Development Coordinator, Nikki, had to say: "Part of my job takes me into the community to provide educational programs in schools. Through these programs, I hold the door open to youth - talking about healthy boundaries, red flags of abuse, and how to help a friend. Abusive relationships can start early and may last a lifetime, so these conversations can be truly life-changing." #dutchesscounty #dutchesscountyny #gracesmithhouse #loveshouldnthurt #supportyourlocalcommunity #domesticviolenceadvocate #hvgivesday #HVGives #hvgives2026
May 2026 Mental Health Awareness Month focuses on the theme "More Good Days, Together," encouraging community support to fight stigma and improve well-being. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
On average, more than half of the women seen in mental health settings are being or have been abused by an intimate partner. Don't wait if you are feeling stressed or depressed about your relationship. Call Grace Smith House 24/7 to get the help you need so you can live a safe and positive life.
Hotline: 845-471-3033

The power of community lies in collective action, support, and shared purpose to achieve results impossible alone. It drives structural change, enhances resilience, and improves well-being by leveraging shared resources and mutual care.
You are part of the Grace Smith House Community. Believe survivors, listen to survivors, and support the work of domestic violence organizations both locally and nationally. We are in this together.
