October is a month of awareness, with communities coming together to recognize and address a number of important issues. Like Breast Cancer, Domestic Violence is an issue that affects women and men and has a lasting impact on individuals, families, and communities. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, income, or background, and its impact reaches far beyond the person experiencing abuse - affecting children, families, friends, workplaces, and entire communities.
This month, we raise awareness, stand with survivors, remember those whose lives have been lost to violence, and reaffirm the importance of safety, support, and resources for those experiencing abuse. Recognizing the signs, believing survivors, and knowing where to turn for help can make a difference.
During October - and every month - let us remember that everyone deserves to live free from fear, control, and violence - and that no one should have to face it alone.
