We've touched on the importance of awareness about domestic violence, but what is it?

Domestic Violence is a pattern of coercive, controlling behavior that can include physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and/or financial abuse.

It is not always just physical, and cannot always be seen. This is why we need to work together to understand it, spread awareness, and break the cycle. #Weareresilient 💜

We know Domestic Violence happens, but who does it

We know Domestic Violence happens, but who does it effect in South Dakota?

Domestic Violence effects 51.4% of people in South Dakota - men and women combined.

This is why we need to be educated and help spread awareness, because it's happening here in our state and effecting at least half of our population. Will you join us in spreading awareness to end the cycle of Domestic Violence?

As you may have noticed, for the month of October,

As you may have noticed, for the month of October, we are promoting the color purple as a way to spread awareness about domestic violence, but, why purple?

We wear purple for the month of october as a symbol of peace, courage, survival, honor, and dedication to ending the cycle of domestic violence.

We encourage you to promote the color people, not only by wearing it, but by decorating your business, house, social media, school, etc. in purple. Help us educate others about domestic violence and work to end the cycle. #Weareresilient 💜
