      October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

      by coglesbyOctober 1, 2025

      A single ‘Day of Unity' observed by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence in 1981 quickly evolved into a full month of support and activities, conducted at the local, state and national levels, to raise awareness of domestic violence. On October 6, 1989 Congress passed Public Law 101-112, opens a new window, designating October of that year as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This month's resources focus on connecting those who live with the risk of violence and those who work to end it.

      Saints of the Household by Ari Tison - In this fictional tale, brothers Max and Jay help a classmate in trouble, but struggle with the consequences of their violent actions and worry they may be more like their abusive father than they thought.
