DVAM 2021... Week of Action!

Domestic violence thrives in silence. To be able to support and help victims and survivors, and to prevent domestic violence in the future, we all need to talk about it. As a supporter of domestic violence victims and survivors, we need you to help us spread the word and get involved during Journey Center's Week of Action!

We hope you'll join us during this important week, and all month long, to let individuals impacted by domestic violence know that they are not alone and to engage advocates, partners, and our community in starting this important conversation.

• Monday, October 18: Messages of Support

  • Join us on social media and write a message of support to those who are experiencing abuse. Let victims throughout Cuyahoga County, and beyond, know that they deserve a safe, healthy relationship and that no one deserves to be abused.
