💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜
This is a time to honor survivors, raise awareness, and strengthen our commitment to ending violence in our community.
This year’s theme, “KNOW what to SAY, KNOW what to DO,” reminds us that every interaction matters. Having the knowledge, tools, and confidence to speak up can make the difference between silence and safety. Whether it’s offering words of support, connecting someone to local resources, or standing up against violence, each of us has a role to play in creating hope and change.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline provides 24/7 support to survivors and anyone calling on their behalf. Advocates offer crisis intervention, safety planning, and referrals to local service providers. The hotline receives over 24,000 calls a month.
📞 Call: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
💬 Text: “START” to 88788

Together, we can build a community where safety, dignity, and respect are the standard.
You are not alone. Advocates are available for support 24/7. 💜
