October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. GR Therapy Group would like to take this time to recognize victims, raise awareness, and connect with others working to end domestic violence. This year’s DV Awareness Project’s theme is to Heal, Hold, and Center. During this month and beyond, we are being encouraged to embrace the many ways we can heal from violence, hold space for survivors, and center those most marginalized.
Local events will be happening throughout the month of October. These events are focused on raising awareness, providing support and resources, and connecting with our local community.
