CW: Discussion of the societal issue of relationship violence 
 

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), an opportunity to learn together, support each other, and raise awareness about relationship violence. We take this time to honor survivors of domestic violence and inspire people to take action to end domestic violence. Every individual can make a difference, and when we unite around the goal of ending violence, we can change our world. We are all worthy of love, dignity, and respect in our relationships. 

Throughout the month of October, the Counseling and Wellness Center’s Survivor Advocacy Services will be hosting special  and posting on the Instagram account about actions you can take.
