October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the prevalence of domestic violence and supporting survivors in our community. At Harbor House, we are committed to breaking the cycle of abuse by providing safe shelter, critical resources, and compassionate support to those affected. This month, we invite everyone to join us in spreading the message that help is available, and no one should have to face domestic violence alone. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, we strive to empower survivors and create a future where everyone can live free from fear and violence. Read on to see how you can get involved!
