National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is observed every year in October.
Join us for a week long celebration to recognize victims and raise awareness about the devastating impact of domestic violence, which we are calling The Power of Purple Week.
We have curated a week worth of events in hopes to raise awareness and funding, to provide information and resources, and ultimately end violence against women and their children.
The Power of Purple Week will take place October 14 - 19, 2024. Please see each event below to register.
