DVAM = Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Our voices are stronger together.
Join a local DVAM event! October marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM).
What began in 1981 as a “Day of Unity” has evolved into a nationwide month of action that celebrates survivors and raises awareness not only about the issue, but also about the services available to help survivors and their families be safer. CCADV’s 18 member organizations hold local events during DVAM and throughout the year to honor survivors and engage community partners. These events are great opportunities to get involved locally as our coalition works together to create a strong statewide impact.
Check back in the fall for a list of local events!
CCADV Purple Thursday
Purple Thursday is a national day of action each October during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It is an opportunity to raise awareness about domestic violence and an easy way for people to show their commitment to promoting healthy relationships.
All you need to do is wear purple - the “color” of domestic violence, start a conversation with your family, friends or coworkers about why you’re wearing purple, and then take a selfie and post it online.
It’s that simple, because each ripple of purple voices and photos online can create a tidal wave of awareness and change!heck back this fall for the date of Purple Thursday 2022!
