Domestic Violence Awareness Month
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!
We encourage you to take an active stance against domestic violence in our community by creating awareness about domestic violence in your agency or business. Some ideas include:
- Put an article in your agency/employee newsletter discussing domestic violence and how to get help.
- Place posters in cafeterias, restrooms, and other gathering places identifying warning signs and resources.
- Add a link to DVS’s website from your agency’s or business’s website.
- Provide a staff in-service or hold a lunchtime seminar about domestic violence.
- Attend our Domestic Violence Vigil on Oct. 28th, 6:15p at John Dam Plaza, Richland.
DVS staff can provide posters, articles, free trainings and additional materials & resources on domestic violence to your agency!
