Domestic Violence isn’t always physical. The signs aren’t always bruises.

Nearly 1 in 2 women and more than 2 in 5 men in the United States have experienced initimate partner violence in their lifetime.

Every form of abuse causes harm. Every survivor deserves support. 💜

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

While today may feel like an ordinary day, we encourage you to look at it from this angle 👉🏾 today is a day where someone will become a survivor and be free to do the things they were put on this Earth to do.

We celebrate this month and take pride in knowing that more awareness and education is being shared about domestic violence.

We would like to invite you all to the Unmasking Domestic Violence Awareness Walk on October 10th starting at 10 am. See flyer for details!

We would love to see you!
