Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Oct 1 2020 - Oct 31 2020
Oct 1 2020 - Oct 31 2020
Domestic Violence Awareness Month is an annual designation observed throughout the month of October. For many, home is a place of love, warmth, and comfort. It’s somewhere where you know you will be surrounded by care and support, and a nice little break from the busyness of the real world. But for millions of others, home is anything but a sanctuary.
With the global increase in domestic violence cases during the COVID-19 pandemic, awareness and action are urgently needed. This October, the Fort Benning Family Advocacy Program (FAP) has organized and arranged several virtual trainings and presentations to prevent, intervene and bring awareness to the Fort Benning community about domestic violence.
