October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM).

Throughout DVAM, we encourage you to explore resources to better understand what gender-based violence is, how it affects our communities, and ways you can take action.

For survivors, we also offer information that can support you as you work toward your safety, healing, and wellness.

Please check them out, save the ones you find valuable, and share!
