Preventing domestic violence requires the collective awareness, care, and action of each one of us.
The cycle of violence prevails in silence. Domestic Violence is a silent battle that impacts all communities. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), a time to recognize that everybody knows someone who is experiencing or has experienced some form of relationship abuse. Join us for drinks and snacks on Wednesday, October 23rd to raise awareness about the severe impacts of domestic violence and the support available for survivors in our community.
By gathering together in person we can increase the understanding around this life-saving work and raise the crucial funds that provide comprehensive support and compassion to those in our community that need it most. Thanks to the generosity of our hosts, Grata Connects, and our sponsor, Cindy Royal, Financial Advisor Edward Jones, 100% of the profits raised from ticket sales and donations will go towards Compass Center.
Compass Center is the sole provider of domestic violence crisis and response services in Orange County. During 2023, we assisted over 5000 individuals across all our programs and had over 7,000 contacts through both our Crisis & Stability services. Today, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner.
Now is a time when our programs and services are needed the most. This DVAM, join us in our fight to break the silence of violence and help all individuals navigate their journey to safety, stability, and empowerment.
