๐ DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH ๐
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Domestic violence can happen to anyone. Abuse is not always physical it can include emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, or psychological abuse, threats, intimidation, and controlling behavior.
A partner should never make you feel that abuse is your fault. Love is not abuse. Domestic violence is never acceptable in any relationship.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, you are not alone. Help is available.
