Universal Sign For Help

Bexar County remains one of the most dangerous areas for domestic violence victims. We are changing that narrative through community-wide education and direct support for survivors of all ages—from children to seniors.

To bridge the gap between information and immediate action, we’ve expanded our reach from a traditional website to a dedicated mobile app. By putting resources directly into the hands of our community, we are making support more accessible, more private, and more effective than ever before.
