October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic violence can affect anyone regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation or socioeconomic background. Victims and survivors may suffer from high rates of anxiety,
depression and chronic diseases. Children exposed to domestic violence are more likely to have health issues or be at risk of injury or death. But there is hope and help.
