October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)
We can all do #1Thing towards eradicating domestic violence.
What's your #1Thing?
The #1Thing that will end domestic violence is our collective power.
The national theme for Domestic Violence Awareness Month 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. If you'd like a domestic violence prevention poster or presentation this October or information on other ways you can get involved, please call us at 608-356-9123 or email us here.
