Join us this October in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), as we continue working toward ending dating and domestic violence. These conversations are imperative to creating and supporting a healthier and safer community for our students, and ourselves. In fact, more than half of people who have been physically abused, sexually abused, or stalked by a dating partner, first experienced abuse between the ages of 11 and 24.

We all have a role in creating safer and healthier communities. Join us in activities and events throughout the month to become involved in eliminating violence and abuse in our relationships, our homes and in our community!

Throughout October, we'll be celebrating various aspects of healthy relationships while developing strategies for more inclusive forms of violence prevention and survivor support. Stay tuned into our social media for updates on lectures, workshops, panels and more!
