October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Purple ribbon with green leaves and gold decor

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) was first observed in 1987.

The University of Minnesota states it best, "The activities conducted. . . had common themes: mourning those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end violence" (Read a concise history of DVAM here)

Throughout October, Family Support Center holds events and activities to raise awareness for survivors of domestic violence.
