October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  This month is an opportunity to take action and make our community safe for survivors of domestic violence.  Join us in raising awareness about domestic violence.   Your actions, big or small help others around you start conversations, understand and empathize with survivors, and create communities where survivors are treated with respect and dignity.

Here are a few actions to get started.  Pick one or a few to help raise awareness.

  • Check out a few great blog posts and start conversations in your community.
