Nationally, October is recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). The goal of DVAM is to raise public awareness about domestic violence and its profound impact on victims, families, and communities. This year’s continuing theme is With Survivors, Always, building on last year’s momentum, with a deepened focus on action. Across the United States, we’re seeing violence downplayed, cuts to the services families rely upon, and increased barriers to safety for survivors and their children. Survivors deserve action. The Women’s Community announces a series of events and opportunities to support survivor services, learn more about the dynamics of abuse, and network with the professionals working to end domestic violence in our community.
