🌈 Pride Month at NORA 🌈
This Pride Month, we honor and celebrate the resilience, courage, and joy of LGBTQ+ survivors and communities. Everyone deserves to live free from violence, to be believed, and to be supported in spaces that are safe, inclusive, and affirming.
At NORA, we stand proudly with our LGBTQ+ community—not just in June, but every day—by providing survivor-centered, trauma-informed support rooted in dignity, respect, and love.
You are seen. You are valued. You belong. 💜
When survivors reach out for help, there is no time to wait.
NORA is often the first safe place they turn to — and that responsibility is one we take seriously every day.
With federal funding cuts impacting critical services, community support is essential to ensure survivors are never left without care, advocacy, or hope.
Stand with survivors. Support the work that makes safety possible.
🩵Help Be That First Safe Place
For many survivors, reaching out is the hardest step. Your support ensures there is someone ready to answer with care, belief, and immediate help.

Healing requires access, consistency, and care.
NORA’s counseling services remain a critical lifeline for survivors, even as reduced funding limits our ability to meet growing community need.
Together, we can help ensure healing remains possible.
