Purple Thursday 2022
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), and domestic violence continues to be a profound and pervasive social and public health crisis, crossing lines of class, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Each year, 10 million women and men in the U.S. experience domestic violence. There are many forms of domestic abuse which can be verbal, emotional and/or physical.
Next week people across the US will show their support of survivors of domestic abuse by participating in PURPLE THURSDAY! Please join us in this endeavor to support our local survivors and bring awareness to this issue that impacts all of us. We want our community to know that there is help available for themselves and their families.
To participate in the ‘Purple Thursday’ campaign on Thursday, October 20, please share a photo of you wearing purple on HAVEN Program FB page or your social media ( please tag HAVEN in your photos) and/or join us for a Domestic Violence Awareness Walk on Thursday from 10 am -11am at the Eight Tribes Trail (flyer attached)
Thank you for your support of survivors and HAVEN PROGRAM!
HAVEN Advocates are always here to help!
