Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Take Action

This October, celebrate Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) with DVP. Every October, advocates come together with the goal of educating the public and providing essential resources to survivors. At DVP, we seek to raise awareness of the prevalence of abuse in our communities, to expose what abuse can look like, and to uplift and center the narratives and needs of those affected by intimate partner abuse.  To learn more, participate in any of our free trainings offered this month listed below:
