On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. In order to shed light on the realities of domestic violence throughout our country, Domestic Violence Awareness Month was established for the month of October starting in 1987. The goals of Domestic Violence Awareness Month include: mourning those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end domestic violence.
Join Albion this October to get involved in the movement to end domestic violence.  Our events include Flowers on the Lake Evansville (October 12th), Flowers on the Lake Gibson County (October 5th), Purple Light Nights (October 1st-31st), Health Cares About Domestic Violence Day (October 11th), and #PurpleThursday (October 19th). Domestic Violence Awareness Month is a chance for our community to come together to make a change.  For more information about our Domestic Violence Awareness Month Events, visit www.albionfellowsbacon.org.
