Project Beacon
Every workplace has emergency procedures
Fire. Medical emergencies. Earthquakes. Violence. But what happens when the emergency is invisible?
I. Introduction
Project Beacon helps workplaces recognize, respond to, and support employees experiencing intimate partner violence — through practical, evidence-based education.
II. A Quiet Truth
Sometimes the safest place a person goes each day is work.
For someone experiencing intimate partner violence, the workplace becomes much more than a place of employment. It can be where someone notices. Where someone asks. Where someone knows what to do.
Yet most organizations have never been taught how to recognize the signs, or respond with confidence. Project Beacon exists to change that.
III. Workplaces
Where It Shows Up
Domestic violence doesn't stay at home. It can quietly follow someone into the places they work, learn, heal, and show up every day.
It can look like many things.
“The signs are not always visible. But they are always real.”
Offices
It can look like missed meetings.
Changes in attendance, withdrawal, or difficulty concentrating. Signs that something may be happening outside of work.
Construction sites
It can look like someone checking in every fifteen minutes.
Shift schedules and job-site locations can be used as tools of monitoring, control, and risk.
Hospitals & clinics
It can look like bruises with different explanations.
Healthcare teams often notice injuries, anxiety, and repeated visits before anyone else is told.
Schools
It can look like fear of going home.
Educators and staff may see changes in behavior, attendance, or the presence of a controlling partner.
Together, we can build safer workplaces for everyone.
Iv. The Reality
Domestic violence doesn't stay at home.
It travels quietly with people into every kind of workplace — shaping how they show up, how they perform, and whether they feel safe at work.
01
It is everywhere.
In offices and hospitals, on construction sites, in schools and shops. No workplace is exempt.
02
It affects everything.
Attendance, safety, mental health, productivity, culture. Quiet costs, carried privately.
03
It goes unseen.
Most organizations have never been taught to notice the signs — or how to respond when they do.
The question isn't if. It's whether you'll be prepared when that moment comes.
V. An Invitation
Bring this conversation into your workplace.
A single presentation can change how an entire organization notices, responds, and supports the people who need it most.
