Domestic Violence Awareness Month
October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and as concerned citizens it is imperative that we recognize and respond to intimate partner violence in our communities. Domestic incidents have increased substantially this year, making it the right time for you to familiarze yourself with the problem and available solutions.
Please join us for any of the events held in your area to learn more about what we can do to help victims of domestic violence.
