October Spotlight: Domestic Violence Awareness and Empowerment
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
This month, we stand together to raise awareness about domestic violence and its impact on individuals and families in our communities. It’s a time to educate ourselves, support survivors, and advocate for change. Domestic violence can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and psychological abuse, and it affects people of all backgrounds.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please know you are not alone. There are resources available to help you find safety and support. We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to learn more about the signs of abuse and how to support those affected.
For immediate assistance, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). They provide confidential support 24/7 to anyone in need.
Let’s work together to break the silence and create a safer, healthier future for everyone.
