💜 A powerful moment. A shared commitment. A call to action.

Today, Governor Tate Reeves signed the proclamation declaring October 2026 Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Mississippi, joined by MCADV CEO Lanisha Bell, Coalition staff, and members of our Board of Directors.

This recognition brings statewide attention to an issue that affects our families, workplaces, schools, and communities. It also honors the strength of survivors and the dedication of advocates and domestic violence programs working every day to help individuals and families find safety, support, and a path forward.

To every survivor: You are seen. You are believed. You are supported. You deserve safety and peace.

We thank Governor Reeves for recognizing Domestic Violence Awareness Month and helping bring visibility to the need for continued education, prevention, and survivor support across Mississippi.

Now, we encourage every Mississippian to turn awareness into action. 💜Wear purple to show your support. 💜Learn the signs of abuse. 💜Support your local domestic violence program. 💜Listen without judgment when someone shares their experience, and help connect them with resources while respecting their choices.

Every conversation, every act of support, and every community partnership can help build a Mississippi where survivors have access to the help they need and every person can live free from abuse. Tate Reeves Center for Violence Prevention

Together, we have the strength.

💜💜💜 It was an honor to have Laura Quarles to speak today for our Domestic Violence In-Service Event. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Laura courageously shared her story with us as part of an initiative to shatter the silence around domestic violence.

And a HUGE Thank You to Papa John's Pizza Warriors on Northside Dr. for supplying lunch for us today! 🍕🍕

AWARENESS - CATHOLIC CHARITIES
By CHRISTINA BACH - Special to the Sun

For more than 60 years, Catholic Charities, Inc. of Jackson has been a visible sign of Christ’s love in Mississippi. Since 1963 we have had the privilege of walking alongside people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Our programs and the people we serve have changed over the years, but our mission has remained constant: to meet people where they are, offer hope when life feels overwhelming, and help individuals and families discover a path toward healing, stability, and a brighter future.

At Catholic Charities, we are not afraid to go where God leads us. Sometimes that means helping a mother break free from the bo***ge of substance use so she can build a healthy and loving future for herself and her children. Through our Born Free/New Beginnings program, supported by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, we walk beside mothers as they work toward recovery, strengthen their parenting skills, and create stronger families. Every success story is meaningful—a mother reaching a milestone in recovery, a child experiencing a safe and stable home, or a family celebrating another day together. Healing is inter-generational and serves as prevention of trauma and abuse.
