October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Stand with Vera House during October and bring awareness to domestic violence. The statistics are staggering…1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men aged 18 or older in the United States have been the victim of physical violence in their lifetime by an intimate partner.  Let's ALL be a part of the solution: Awareness + Action = Social Change.

You can help create a community where safety and respect are the foundation of every relationship. Here are some simple ideas to get you started:

  • Sign our pledge to affirm your dedication of bringing meaningful change to our community 
     
  • Participate in the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence's "NYS Wear Purple Day" on October 20
     
  • Make a donation in honor of someone in your life who experiences violence or is a survivor
