Getting the Conversation Started: October - Victims of Domestic Violence Month

Domestic Violence Awareness month has a very special meaning to us Alpha Chis. More often than not, society envisions those affected by domestic violence as other people. That “other” may be closer than you think! Start the conversation with your sisters and peers on prevention, healthy relationships, self worth and confidence. Offer prevention opportunities and raise awareness by working with local non-profit agencies to provide education or develop your own curriculum based on your own research. Prevention is key in any cause!
