October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In honor of those victims who we have lost due to domestic violence, the Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Board of Lorain County is participating in Lorain County Safe Harbor's "The Empty Seat at the Table" campaign as a reminder of the holes left in our community through these horrific crimes.
You're invited to show your support by wearing purple on October 15th, or by attending the "Remembering Their Light" candlelight vigil on October 23rd from 6:30pm to 8 pm at the Margaret McCoy Community Outreach Center at 2929 W. River Road, N., Elyria, OH 44035.
Domestic violence occurs among all races, economic levels, religions, genders, sexual orientations and ages. If you or someone you know is struggling with domestic violence, you don't have to face it alone visit www.genesishouseshelter.org for more information on getting help.
