Someone you care about is likely experiencing domestic violence, whether you can see it or not. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men will experience severe physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. 1 isn’t just a number, it’s SOMEONE – a family member, a neighbor, a coworker, a friend. Domestic Violence affects all of us, and all of us must be a part of the solution.

Each year, advocates, survivors, and supporters come together and recognize October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). CAPSEA will spend the month spreading awareness through social media, news outlets, and community events designed to engage advocates, partners, and the Ridgway community.

CAPSEA is calling on our neighbors and local businesses to help shed the light on this abuse, and to show your support by donating to local organizations, like CAPSEA, who provide assistance to victims and survivors.
