October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we are happy to host you in multiple capacities as we seek to educate, advocate & empower our community to stand against DV. We will analyze facts and myths about domestic violence, celebrate togetherness in a safe capacity, investigate barriers and resources through survivor stories, identify qualities of healthy versus unhealthy relationships and more.
Available by 11am
This exclusive video series will answer questions & dispel myths about Domestic Violence. Every Monday will feature a survivor – their story describing personal barriers and experiences. Every Wednesday an Advocate will provide feedback and further insight to our survivor stories, while answering questions submitted by the public for further awareness & understanding.
Educate yourself and win cool stuff this DV month. Test your awareness every Tuesday in October by answering questions on our social media platforms at 7am, 12:30pm and 6pm. Every correct answer will earn you points, and those points can earn you prizes!
Awards will be issued each week with one Grand Prize Winner at the end of the month!
