Family & Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic and Family Violence Awareness and Prevention Month is an annual event held each May to raise community awareness of the social and personal impacts of domestic and family violence and the support available to those affected. The key aims of the month are to:

• raise community awareness of domestic and family violence and its impacts;
• promote a clear message of no tolerance of domestic and family violence in Queensland communities;
• ensure those who are experiencing domestic and family violence know how to access help and support;
• encourage people who use abuse and/or violence to take responsibility for their abusive behaviour and seek support to change.

(see Domestic Violence Prevention Centre)

Family Safety Victoria encourages you to show your support for Domestic and Family Violence Awareness Month by participating in relevant events, campaigns and following the conversation on social media using the hashtags #DFVAM, #EndDFV and #notnownotevertogether.
