October 10, 2024 – All Day

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), and domestic violence continues to be a profound and pervasive social and public health crisis, crossing lines of class, race, ethnicity, and sexuality.

We are encouraged to wear purple to show support for those who have experienced domestic violence and abuse and let them know that help is for themselves and their families.
