October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month! Every October, organizations and individuals unite across the country for a national effort to uplift the needs, voices, and experiences of survivors. Congress declared the month of October to be Domestic Violence Awareness Month in 1989.

A comment I receive frequently from participants in our BIP is that they wish they could have learned this information sooner. They wish they had been taught about breaking the cycle of domestic violence when they were younger. If they knew then what they know now, they could have been different people. This week, our topic has been about corporal punishment and how physical violence affects children for the rest of their lives.

Our program is dedicated to protecting victims, so we keep victim resources available on our website, and we continue to teach the warning signs of abuse during both our weekly sessions and online. Participants in our program proposed making information easier to access by creating a resource page on our website. They informed me that they enjoy our weekly topics and although they take notes during the sessions, it would be easier for them to open up discussions with their partners about what they learned if they had access to more information. We have decided to implement a Reference tab on our main website, so anyone can access articles related to some of our group topics.

More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the U.S.
experience contact sexual violence, physical violence,
and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
According to the latest NISVS data, women are more
likely to experience at least one IPV-related impact in
their lifetime, such as being physically injured, missing
work or school, being concerned for their safety,
needing medical care, or filing a police report.

Domestic violence remains a pervasive crisis with public health social, and economic consequences. Historically, DV has been considered a criminal justice issue, but contemporary frameworks recognize that DV requires a coordinated responses across health, social service, and legal systems. Batterers intervention programs serve as a tool to reduce offender recidivism, safeguard survivors, and transform patterns of abusive behavior.

International Day of Sign Languages: Celebrated globally on September 23, this UN-recognized day raises awareness of the human rights of deaf individuals and commemorates the founding of the World Federation of the Deaf.

Our program offers weekly sessions over zoom which provides closed captioning in real time, so clients are able to participate in our program if they are deaf, hard of hearing, or have audio processing disorder.

Happy Pride Month!!

I've attached a photo of the power and control wheel for LGBTQ+ relationships.

Anyone- regardless of their identity, or that of their partner- can experience domestic violence. Misogynist gender roles, racial/ethnic stereotypes and institutional discrimination, and economic insecurity, put certain segments of the population at greater risk, such as women, BIPOC people, and those living in poverty. For LGBTQ+ people, these same social determinants compound with homophobic and transphobic stigma, creating even greater risk of domestic violence among the community.

LGBTQ+ women, trans people and non-binary people are equally as likely as their cisgender and heterosexual peers to have experienced domestic violence at some point in their lifetimes. The negative effects of domestic violence faced by LGBTQ+ people are exacerbated by the barriers they face to seeking help. 🌈
