October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Across the nation, October is recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and community members adorn themselves with the color purple to raise awareness about domestic and relationship violence. Every year, Sun Devils come together on Wear Purple Day to show their support for victims and survivors and to raise awareness not only about the harmful effects of domestic violence, but the role we all play in preventing such violence.
During this month, Sun Devils come together to learn more about the spectrum of relationships, ranging from healthy to abusive with unhealthy existing somewhere in between, and about how to lean on one another in order to cultivate healthy relationships. Various in-person and virtual opportunities are offered throughout the month. Such as, educational workshops, training sessions, engaging programming and more. Engage in our upcoming events and help raise awareness through our DVAM Toolkit.
