October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)

This year’s theme, Every1KnowsSome1, reminds us that domestic violence impacts every community. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, race, gender, income, ability, immigration status, or background. We all play a role in helping to prevent it.

Please join us this month in spreading awareness, sharing resources, standing with survivors, honoring those we have lost, and speaking out.

If you or someone you know needs support, call the NJ Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-572-SAFE (7233) or visit njcedv.org/programs.
