DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS
National Domestic Violence Awareness is an annual designation observed in October. For many, home is a place of love, warmth, and comfort. It's somewhere that you know you will be surrounded by care and support. But for millions of others home is anything, but a sanctuary.
Both women and men can be victims of some form of violence by an intimate partner or ex-partner.

HOW TO OBSERVE
Sometimes, people don't know if they are really in an abusive relationship because they're used to their partner telling them it's all in their head or making them feel like all the problems are their own fault. Here are just a few ways to know if you're in an abusive relationship that you need to get out of.
If you are concerned about someone you know, feel free to call the local non-emergency dispatch line and they can get you in touch with the proper authorities or assist you on what to do. Non-Emergency Dispatch Number- 541-265-0777
And as always, if you are in an emergency situation or know of someone in an emergency situation, please don't hesitate to call 911
