AUSTIN, Texas - Sept. 26, 2023 - PRLog -- Texas Advocacy Project (TAP), a leading statewide nonprofit dedicated for 41 years to serving survivors of domestic violence in addition to sexual assault, stalking, child abuse, and human trafficking, announces the release of its 2022 annual report and the availability of its subject matter experts as a valuable resource during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Heather Bellino, TAP's Chief Executive Officer, emphasized the incredible dedication of TAP's team, stating, "All staff play a pivotal role in serving over 10,000 survivors - our clients and their families. Drilling it down, in 2022, each staff attorney, on average, helped 650 people to live a life free from abuse.
