What We Do

Awareness, connection, and community responsibility.

Start Biting stands with people affected by domestic and sexual violence. Our current website offers a starting point for learning about our purpose, exploring independently operated support resources, and considering ways to support survivors with dignity and respect.

Find independent support

Our homepage links to the National Domestic Violence Hotline and RAINN. These organizations operate their own support channels. Explore support resources and contact the provider directly for current availability and options.

Learn and share responsibly

Our public pages introduce survivor choice, inclusion, compassionate communication, and the role communities can play in challenging abuse. We also link to specialist information about supporting someone and digital safety. Share resources only when it is safe and welcome to do so.

Get to know the people behind Start Biting

Learn about founder Corinn Gamez’s social services and advocacy experience, and treasurer Enrique Lopez Salido’s international leadership background. Meet our team.

Programs and participation

This website does not currently provide a program application or service-intake process. Specific programs, eligibility requirements, locations, schedules, and participation instructions will be published when confirmed. A general inquiry is not enrollment in a service.

For a nonurgent question about our work or a possible collaboration, contact Start Biting.

For nonurgent inquiries: info@startbiting.org. This inbox is not a crisis service. Please do not send sensitive personal information or details of abuse by email.
