October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month—a time to recognize the seriousness of domestic violence, honor those whose lives have been affected, and bring greater awareness to an issue that impacts individuals and families in every community. The following statistics are from the NAAV Coalition.
The first step toward lowering domestic violence rates is understanding the seriousness of the issue and recognizing the lives, families, and communities it affects. Awareness can help us better understand the problem, encourage meaningful conversations, and remind those experiencing abuse that they are not alone.
HAVEN Advocates are here to help!
