October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month
"Domestic violence touches the lives of Americans of all ages, leaving a devastating impact on women, men, and children of every background and circumstance. A family's home becomes a place of fear, hopelessness, and desperation when a woman is battered by her partner, a child witnesses the abuse of a loved one, or a senior is victimized by family members. During National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we recommit ourselves to ending violence within our homes, our communities, and our country."
