OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
Ending domestic violence requires attention and action all year round. But during October, the spotlight is brighter, with events and campaigns to educate, promote prevention efforts and encourage more support for survivors. Call WCSC for more information and volunteer opportunities, 340.773.9272. Victims and survivors are facing the trauma of DV and the added dangers of COVID-19. Share some words of encouragement, let them know that help is available and that you care. Post a message of hope or a short video on your favorite social channel and use the hashtags, #every1knowssome1, #StxDVAM or #support4survivors, as part of ongoing campaigns of support.
It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month! Make a personal statement against domestic violence in our communities by wearing the theme color on #VIPurpleDay
A purple ribbon or any purple style choice lets a survivor know that you care and will inspire everyone you see to show support for persons impacted by domestic violence in our community.
