The Archway

The Archway exists to keep victims safe, hold offenders accountable and strengthen the system. Call our 24/7 Crisis Hotline at 1-877-701-7233.

The Archway, formerly SafeHaven of Tarrant County, provides a way forward for survivors of intimate partner violence and builds stronger systems to prevent violence and protect lives. Rooted in decades of frontline experience, we build stronger support, greater access and lasting change. We offer the full range of support survivors need today, while leading bold efforts to prevent violence tomorrow—here in Tarrant County and beyond.

Feeling extra thankful this little one can reimagine a life beyond domestic violence. 💜🧡

🚒 During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we were so grateful to partner with Fort Worth Fire Department - from sharing life-saving information with our community to joining us for a shelter tour earlier this fall! 🚒

As FWFD steps into their expanded role as the licensed EMS provider for local communities, we're especially thankful to welcome them into a NEW role as a vital member of next year's Intimate Partner Violence Fatality Review Team! Their commitment to survivor safety is clear, and we're excited for what this growing partnership will mean for families in Tarrant County.

🎄 We're sending the BIGGEST shoutout to the group of student leaders from Everman ISD who volunteered at Berry Good Buys this week! 🎄

These students are a part of our prevention leadership group and spent the afternoon helping us transform the store for the holidays. We are so, so grateful for these young leaders and the commitment they make to supporting domestic violence survivors all year long!

🚐🎀 Today, our team headed to the General Motors Arlington Assembly Plant to celebrate something incredible — thanks to GM employees and the company match, nearly $55,000 was raised to purchase a brand new van for The Archway! 🎀🚐

This van will help children in our shelters get to school, field trips, and other educational experiences, and it will help survivors reach work, appointments, and new beginnings on their path to safety and independence.

A huge thank you to General Motors and their incredible employees for their generosity and to Classic Chevrolet for helping make this possible with an amazing deal on the van.

You’ve both made safe transportation one less thing for families in crisis to worry about. 💜

"A few weeks ago, standing on the steps of the Gregg County courthouse before testifying in a felony homicide case, I was reminded why The Archway’s Expert Witness Guild exists.

When someone experiences intimate partner violence, the situation is rarely simple, and yet, those cases are decided in courtrooms every day by people who may not fully understand the patterns of abuse, or why victims behave the way they do. That’s where expert witnesses come in.

Our Expert Witness Guild is made up of professionals across Texas who step into courtrooms like this one to help judges and juries see the full picture. We don’t take sides or decide guilt. We explain what intimate partner violence really looks like, how it unfolds, and what the evidence often means in context.

I’ve had the privilege of serving as an expert witness in felony criminal trials for the past 10 years, and every time, I’m reminded that education can be a powerful form of justice."

"If she was really being abused, we’d see the signs."

But what if the signs are silence? Nervous laughter? Cancelled plans?

Most abuse is hidden, and that’s what makes it so dangerous.
