You may have noticed some special programming on your campus this month; October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and many campuses have a variety of events to increase awareness and provide resources.
Although many people have preconceived notions of what college life is like, for some students, their years in college can be filled with violence and abuse. If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, please know you can always call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233. You can also reach out to people on your campus, whether it be to your RA, a professor, or someone in the counseling center.
