Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Support for Survivors

Jennifer Green

Understanding the Impact

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a crucial time to highlight the distressing reality that 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence at some point in their lives. These aren't just numbers; they represent real people—our mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends—seeking safety, dignity, and hope.
