DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH 2026

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Join us as we mark the month with a series of events and community activities, aiming to empower every individual with essential knowledge on domestic violence and the ways to find support. 

Join the movement to stand with survivors and eliminate domestic violence for future generations.  The staggering facts are that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience severe physical abuse at the hands of an intimate partner during their lifetime. Chances are, everyone knows someone who has been impacted by this public health crisis.  

All month long, we will be spreading the word that healthy relationships are based on learned behavior, focusing on educating our community about maintaining relationships that are rooted in respect and understanding.  

Be A Part of the Change: 

Join the Action: Take part in one of our public proclamations and be a voice. 

Learn the Facts: Download our free resource guide to learn more about domestic violence dynamics and how to connect with DVCC to get help for you or a loved one.

Spread the Word: Share our content on social media with #beabeacon and #loveequalsrespect. 

Boost the Movement: 

Your participation, shares, and contributions are the catalysts for building awareness and breaking the stigma around domestic violence. Domestic violence thrives in silence. Use your voice to stand with survivors and let others know that help is available. 

We are thrilled to step into a month brimming with meaningful conversations and educational opportunities to work toward eliminating domestic violence. Let’s all be a beacon of hope, support, and transformation in our community!
