October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this issue is close to my heart. Having been personally impacted by domestic violence, I understand the profound effects it can have on individuals and families. It’s crucial that we raise awareness and support survivors. We must create safe spaces for conversations and provide resources for those in need. No one should feel alone in this struggle. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, I encourage you to seek help. Together, we can work towards breaking the cycle and fostering a culture of support and healing. 💜 #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportSurvivors #BreakTheSilence #DVAM2024
Domestic violence touches lives across every community, but together, we can foster healing by standing with survivors and building safe havens. Let's raise their voices and champion justice this #DVAM2024.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Every year, we join organizations and individuals from across the country united in a national effort to uplift the needs, voices, and experiences of survivors. Congress declared the month of October to be Domestic Violence Awareness Month in 1989. For DVAM 2024, we are partnering with the Domestic Violence Awareness Project to build on the theme Heal, Hold & Center. This DVAM and beyond, we must work together, embrace the many cultural ways we can heal from violence and oppression, commit to holding space for survivors, and center those most marginalized in all our efforts to end domestic violence. #HealHoldCenter #NoSurvivorJusticeWithoutRacialJustice #DVAM2024 #CallforUnity
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, economic status, branch of service, or rank, and has lasting negative health impacts. Those experiencing domestic violence may be reluctant to discuss their circumstances due to fear of retaliation, judgment by others, or embarrassment.They may feel trapped, anxious, or even blame themselves. Regardless of what the abuser may say to maintain control or exert power, victims of domestic violence are never at fault for their partner's behavior, and no one deserves to be abused. Recognizing the signs of domestic violence and knowing the available support resources can be lifesaving for you or someone you know. No one, especially the members of our #OneGuard family, should ever have to endure domestic violence or abuse.

Domestic violence affects more individuals than you may realize. Many suffer in silence, too afraid to leave because of threats made against them and their loved ones. If you suspect someone is a victim of domestic violence, please reach out to them and offer your support. Perpetrators isolate their victims and lead them to believe that no one will be there for them. If you're in a situation where you need help getting out, talk to someone you trust, learn what resources are available, and make a plan. You deserve to be safe. 💜 #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SeeSomethingSaySomething #AskForHelp

Breaking the silence is the first step to ending domestic violence. Domestic abuse is not "an isolated incident." It is an epidemic. Domestic abuse is not "a family matter." It is domestic terrorism, and it affects every fiber of our society. Domestic abuse is not a relationship. It is a hostage situation. Victims often can't “just leave.” They may need help to escape. It's up to all of us to find those solutions, educate ourselves, learn to recognize the signs, and end this epidemic. If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−SAFE (7233). #StandTogether #EndDomesticViolenceNow#safetyplan #AbuseSurvivors#TraumaRecovery #HealingHeartsCounseling#domesticviolence #domesticabuse#domesticviolenceawareness #emotionalabuse#abuse #narcissisticabuse #narcissist#survivor #gaslighting #toxicrelationships#mentalhealth #ptsd #trauma #healing#divorce #womenempowerment#narcissisticabusesurvivor #women #selflove#sociopath #love #narcissism#domesticviolencesurvivor #manipulation
