Domestic Violence Awareness Month Events
About 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Please be a part of the solution and join the YWCA Northeast Indiana as we raise awareness. To learn more about domestic violence and what you can do to help, please attend the following events:
Flowers On The River. Join us as we launch Domestic Violence Awareness Month at this free event by honoring those whose lives have been affected by domestic violence. Flowers on the River will take place on Tuesday, October 3rd from 6-7pm at the Wells Street Bridge. Learn more and RSVP: shorturl.at/xL145
Chalk It Up. Help us turn the sidewalk into a giant chalk billboard featuring drawings, facts, and quotes that bring awareness to domestic violence. Stop by anytime on Wednesday, October 11th between 11am-2pm at 816 Pint & Slice. Learn more about this free event and RSVP: shorturl.at/ksBL2
Circle. Circle is our signature fundraising event. This event takes place on Thursday, October 19th from 11:30am-1pm at Ceruti’s. Alongside the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, our program will combine survivor stories and education to demonstrate different stages that might repeat or escalate in an abusive relationship.
