October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to the devastating impact domestic violence has on individuals, families, and our communities.
Each year, millions of people suffer in silence, often unsure of how to escape the cycle of abuse. At Community Resource Center (CRC), we are committed to breaking that silence and providing the critical support needed by those affected by domestic violence.
Domestic violence knows no boundaries. It affects people of all genders, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Survivors often feel isolated, believing no one can understand their pain. But it’s important to remember: no one has to endure this alone. Our community stands ready to offer help, hope, and healing.
Our role at CRC is to be a beacon of hope, providing a safe space for survivors and their children to find the services they need, from emergency shelter and legal support, to counseling and advocacy. But we can’t do it alone. This month, I urge everyone to learn more about domestic violence, speak out against abuse, and support organizations like CRC in empowering survivors.
Together, we can build a safer, more compassionate community where everyone has the opportunity to live free from the fear and violence.
