October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to recognize the impact of domestic violence on individuals, families, and communities. First observed in 1987, it reminds us of the urgent need to support survivors, raise awareness, and work collectively to end the cycle of abuse. This month highlights the importance of access to safe shelters, counseling, legal advocacy, and prevention education. It is also a time to honor the strength and resilience of survivors while acknowledging the ongoing work needed to ensure safety and healing for all.

Locally, organizations such as Domestic Violence Services Of Snohomish County and YWCA Snohomish County provide critical resources to those in need, offering hope and pathways toward rebuilding lives. Domestic Violence Awareness Month reinforces our community’s commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces and standing together to break the silence surrounding domestic abuse.
