October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This national campaign unites advocates and organizations in the shared mission of ending domestic violence through education, prevention, and support. Throughout the month, we work to break the silence, challenge harmful beliefs, and share resources that can help those in unsafe situations find safety and hope. By standing together, we send a clear message: abuse has no place in our homes, our relationships, or our communities.
