Weekly Wellness Tip - 10/28/2026

This week’s Weekly Wellness Tip is all about Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic violence impacts more than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men, with young women ages 18-24 facing the highest rates of intimate partner abuse.

This month we raise awareness and uncover how abuse centers around POWER and CONTROL, which ultimately manifest as physical, emotional, or financial abuse.

The goal of this awareness month is to honor and support survivors, remember those who have lost their lives as a result of domestic violence, and encourage action to end it before it starts.

How can you get involved?

·      Wear purple to show your solidarity for domestic violence awareness.

·      Educate yourself about the signs of domestic violence

·      Amplify survivor voices by listening to their stories and messages of resilience
