October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I love to share information and prints that bring awareness to worthy causes and this post serves that purpose!
Actually, this post has been a long time coming. One of my readers wrote me sharing a bit of her personal experience and asked if I would be willing to share some prints to help with Domestic Violence Awareness. Of course I was delighted to do this! I had intended to get this post out earlier this month but we just purchased a new home {a future post – yes, exciting} and I have been busier than usual taking care of personal matters. Finally before the end of the month, I am “happi” to be able to share something that will benefit Domestic Violence Awareness.

Everyone knows someone who falls victim to domestic violence. We just may not be aware that it is happening. The truth is that most cases go unreported. Eventually, many of those unreported cases will end up in life threatening or life altering situations. Anyone can be a victim and it happens to both men and women. Here are some interesting statistics taken from safehorizon.org
Sadly, it’s not just a single victim involved. In many cases it can be a whole family affected.
Domestic Violence Awareness: Some other facts…
I’m no expert on this subject, but there is plenty of information out there to inform and offer help to those needing it. I personally have witnessed domestic violence and know some currently involved in the domestic violence cycle. I also know and have talked to many who have broken free from domestic violence. I know it can be done but also know it is very, very, very, {and many more very’s} HARD to do. So many victims feel helpless. They don’t have a plan. They think they are in love. They put up with too much.

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence has many great resources and services to help with awareness and support of victims. For a list of other organizations that support this cause go HERE.

And to that victim out there who is afraid to break free, to speak up, or get help, I have this to say…

National Domestic Violence Hotline and blog is also a fabulous resource! The hotline is confidential and available 24/7.
I hope this shed some light on Domestic Violence. Feel free to share and use these prints for personal use to help increase awareness and possibly save someone from abuse.

Charlie Kimsey says
Me being a survivor of Domestic Violence and starting a website bring awareness to everyone and talking about living with the after effects of living with my abuser for 13 years and finally able to walk away. It helps when people understand what to look for and how to approach the subject to a loved one. It is hard to talk about but that is part of the healing process. Thank you for helping get the word out and if you need any more information on this subject please let me know. I am in my healing stage of this road to recovery.
Jillene says
Thanks for your comment Charlie. I’m sorry you’ve had to experience domestic violence but am glad you are on your way to recovery!
