University of Akron SAVE Team

It is officially Sexual Assault Awareness Month and today is Teal Day!🩵 We are happy to be a part of Elliot Kolkovich, Summit County Prosecutor and the Summit County Prosecutor's Office campaign.

Tomorrow, be sure to light up your rooms and pull out your favorite teal shirt in support of survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment.

Happy Valentine’s Day!! No matter how you’re celebrating or who you’re celebrating with, make sure consent comes first! ❤️ 🩷

📞 We Are Here for You 24/7!

You are not alone. Hope and Healing Survivor Resource Center is here to provide support, resources, and hope for those affected by domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking.

📅 January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. If you or someone you know is experiencing human trafficking, don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can make a difference.

💙 Our confidential hotline is available 24/7: (330) 374-1111. You can also send in a chat on online using our website. Whether you need someone to talk to, guidance, or help connecting to services, we’re just a call or chat away.

📅 January is also Stalking Awareness Month!

Stalking is often more than just unwanted attention—it can intersect with domestic violence and sexual assault, making it even more dangerous. Many stalkers are current or former partners who use stalking to exert power and control, creating fear and uncertainty for their victims.

💙 At Hope and Healing, we understand the complexities of stalking and its connection to other forms of abuse. Our compassionate team is here to help you navigate these challenges and provide support every step of the way.

📞 Need help or have questions about stalking? Call our confidential 24-hour hotline: (330) 374-1111. You are not alone—we’re here to listen, believe, and support.

Did you know the second Friday in January is known as Quitters Day because so many people have given up on their resolutions by now?

We think it’s okay to quit! See what we think we should all quit in 2025! What are you going to commit to quitting?

Happy Law Enforcement Appreciation Day to our friends and partners at The University of Akron Police Department! We appreciate the work you do to keep our campus safe.

Happy Thanksgiving from the SAVE Team! We are so grateful to all of you who support survivors, stand up against r**e culture, and intervene when you see something wrong. YOU make a difference in our community!

For those who struggle during the holidays, please know that support is available. The Hope & Healing hotline operates 24/7, including holidays. Please reach out at 330-374-1111.
