A Domestic Violence Awareness Month Community Forum
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we invite the community to attend Breaking the Silence: Unmasking the Journey from Surviving to Thriving, a community forum dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence and encouraging a culture of support, understanding, resilience, and empowerment.
Domestic violence affects individuals, families, and communities in many ways. Creating opportunities for education, open dialogue, and community connection is an important step toward breaking the silence and helping survivors access the support and resources they need.
This forum provides an opportunity for community members to come together in recognition of the strength and resilience of survivors and the importance of building a community where safety, dignity, and healing are priorities.
