October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

At the Capital Area Family Justice Center, we see the courage it takes to ask for help and the strength it takes to rebuild.

This month, we honor survivors, remember those whose lives were taken, and encourage everyone to be part of the change. Listen without judgment. Believe survivors. Speak up against abuse. Help someone connect with support.

To anyone experiencing domestic violence, you deserve safety, respect, and support. You don’t have to navigate this alone 💜
