October is Domestic Violence Prevention Month.
You don’t have to have all the answers to support someone experiencing abuse. Listen without judgment, believe them, remind them the abuse isn’t their fault, and let them move at their own pace. Leaving can be complicated, but they don’t have to navigate it alone.
Everyone deserves relationships rooted in safety, respect, and care.
If you or a loved one needs support, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788.
