Domestic Violence Awareness  Month

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is a national campaign that takes place in October to raise awareness about domestic violence and honor survivors and victims. Join us at CCS to raise awareness for domestic violence year-round to stand with survivors and create a future free from violence. In the U.S., nearly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men experience severe intimate partner violence, creating lasting trauma that reaches far beyond the home. This epidemic devastates families, children, and communities, leaving countless survivors to suffer in silence. 

Raise Awareness: Share our posts and information with your networks. See below for downloadable posters and materials. Ask your favorite businesses if they'll help survivors and prevent assault by putting a flier in a window or on reception desk, etc.

Fundraising Goal: We are raising $10,000 to help ensure that CCS services remain a free lifeline to anyone who needs help.
