Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Wear Purple Day
Wear Purple Day, October 4th, is a great way to show solidarity with survivors and raise awareness to domestic violence. It's a great opportunity to kick off the month by snapping a selfie in your purple styles and hashtagging it #DVAM2022 & #StyleItInViolet
Root for Each Other
Stay informed by staying up to date with our podcast, Root for Each Other! Each month we invite guests and advocates to discuss related domestic violence centered topics as part of our mission to provide the most up-to-date, trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches to advocacy.
What Would YOU Do?

Purple Out High School Football Games
Oct. 14 & 21st
Join us in partnership with the Wayne County Prevention Coalition as Branches advocates provide this advocacy training on how to best support and advocate for domestic violence victims that may be also experiencing substance use disorder.
In Their Shoes
This interactive activity is an incredible opportunity to spend a few moments in the shoes of a domestic violence survivor. Following the brief simulation (20-30 minutes), participants have the opportunity to debrief with an advocate and to talk about the experiences and insights they've gained from the experience.
We are thankful for the partnership of the Women's & Gender Center at Marshall University which allows us to bring this event to campus and the surrounding community.
