Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2025

💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

Domestic violence impacts thousands of families in Massachusetts and across the nation. It can take many forms — verbal, physical, psychological, sexual, or financial — and often happens out of public view.

This month, we stand together to raise awareness, support survivors, and work to end relationship violence once and for all.
