Welcome to the September 2018 edition of Hope House's Community Education E-bulletin!
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
![]()
We can all do #1Thing towards eradicating domestic violence.
The #1Thing that will end domestic violence is our collective power. We're one month closer to Domestic Violence Awareness Month! The national theme this year is #1Thing. What's your #1Thing that will help prevent domestic violence? Hope House will be organizing several projects and displays in October. Look for our luminary display in our front yard, a donation drive on #PurpleThursday on October 18, community displays at libraries, campuses, courthouses, and community centers, and more. We'll have more information on our Events page as we finalize details. If you'd like a domestic violence prevention poster or presentation this October, please call us at 608-356-9123 or email us here. Are you a health care provider? October 10 is National Health Care About Domestic Violence Day. Learn more about how your hospital or clinic can get involved by visiting: www.futureswithoutviolence.org/health/hcadvday.
