💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Domestic violence is more than physical harm. It’s about power, control, and fear. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, s*x, race, or background. This month, we stand with survivors and commit to building safer, stronger communities through awareness, education, and support.
🔎 Did you know?
- Intimate partner violence alone affects more than 12 million people every year.
- Survivors often face barriers to getting help, including fear, stigma, and lack of access to safe resources.
- You can make a difference by learning to recognize the signs and responding with empathy.
🎓 Learn More, Do More!
At ASPIN, we believe that awareness leads to action. Our Introduction to Domestic Violence certificate training course provides a foundation of understanding about the dynamics of abuse, trauma-informed response, and ways to connect individuals to life-saving resources. Through education, we can strengthen our communities and help create pathways to safety and healing.
