Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Submitted by Suzanne Hall
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: About 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men have experienced physical violence, sexual violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime. Over 43 million women and 38 million men have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime. About 1 in 6 homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner. How can we as staff, faculty, and students help prevent domestic violence (also known as intimate partner violence)? Learn about the characteristics of a healthy, non-violent relationship. Learn the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship for yourself, for loved ones, and for patients. Find out what resources are available in your community for survivors. We all deserve to be safe in our relationships. Watch for more information this month about information and resources regarding domestic violence.
Annual Enrollment: October 16th-November 5th
