October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. A month dedicated to education, support, and empowerment.
Domestic Violence is a devastating reality that many women and men live with every day.
At Bright Horizons we are committed to ending Domestic Violence.
During October all 3 of our offices dedicated a lot of time to raise awareness of the devastating effect of Domestic Violence as well as participating in other community engagement projects.
We want to thank everyone who took the time to aid us in helping survivors and raising awareness.
Together WE CAN END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!
