October is Domestic Violence Awareness month 💜

National Domestic Violence Awareness Month first started in 1989. Since then, October has been bringing awareness and support to domestic violence survivors and being a voice for its victims. Domestic violence is prevalent in every community. It can affect all people regardless of their age, socio-economic status, education level, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, nationality, etc.

Here is a website with information about resources, programs and shelters in the area:

October 10- World Mental Health Day!

World Mental Health Day first started in 1992. Since then, our knowledge and understanding of mental health has evolved. We can all continue to grow, take care of ourselves and support others.

The 2025 World Mental Health Day campaign is "Mental health in humanitarian emergencies." Crisis, including natural disasters, conflicts or public health emergencies, can be distressing and have many effects on someone's mental health. This campaign indicates that "supporting the mental well-being of individuals during such crises is not just important – it saves lives, gives people the strength to cope, the space to heal and to recover and rebuild not only as individuals but as communities. That’s why it is essential for everyone, including government officials, health and social care providers, school staff and community groups to come together. By working hand in hand, we can ensure the most vulnerable have access to the support they need while protecting the well-being of everyone."
