All over the country, people come together during the month of October to raise awareness about domestic violence. Normally, you’d see Skagit DVSAS staff out in the community doing presentations, at local events, and posting up our famous “survivor silhouettes” at local businesses.

But, as you know, this year hasn’t exactly been normal. Community events have all gone virtual, and domestic violence rates have skyrocketed due to the isolation, mental stress, and economic hardship of current events. That’s why it is more important than ever to use Domestic Violence Awareness Month to send this message to our community: We are here to support and believe survivors. Because many of our Domestic Violence Awareness Month events have had to change with the times, we’re working behind the scenes to get the word out in the community virtually.
