Community Partnerships for
Domestic Violence Support Organization
Stronger Together
Domestic violence organizations are the heart of survivor advocacy and support. Facing Forward exists to strengthen that work by creating meaningful partnerships between your organization and local beauty professionals.
Together, we can help salons become informed, compassionate spaces where survivors feel seen and supported.
Education Through Collaboration
Facing Forward believes domestic violence education is most effective when it's led in partnership with local experts.
Our salon trainings are co-facilitated, combining your expertise in survivor advocacy with our understanding of the beauty industry.
Together, we provide salon teams with practical guidance:
-
Recognizing signs of domestic violence
-
Responding with empathy and appropriate boundaries
-
Understanding their role as trusted professionals—not counselors
-
Referring clients to local resources
-
Creating salon environments rooted in compassion and awareness
This collaborative approach ensures that every training is responsive to the needs of the local community.
Restoring Confidence
Healing often begins with feeling seen. Through our salon partnerships, participating salons donate complimentary hair services that are entrusted to our domestic violence partner organizations.
Your organization determines which survivors receive these restorative experiences, ensuring they are offered thoughtfully, respectfully, and at the appropriate time in each survivor's journey.
Whether it's a haircut before a job interview, a fresh start after leaving an abusive relationship, or simply an opportunity for self-care, these services can help restore confidence, dignity, and hope.
What Partnership Looks Like
As a Facing Forward Community Partner, your organization will:
✓ Collaborate on domestic violence awareness training for local salons
✓ Receive restorative hair service gifts to distribute to survivors you serve
✓ Expand community awareness about domestic violence
✓ Help create a network of compassionate professionals committed to survivor support
Why It Matters
Many survivors already have trusted relationships with their hairstylists.
By equipping beauty professionals with education and connecting them to local domestic violence organizations, we help create additional pathways to support—while ensuring that survivors are referred to the experts who can provide the services they need. Together, we are building communities where education, compassion, and collaboration create lasting change.
