Domestic Violence Action Month 2023

Take action for Domestic Violence Action Month!

Welcome to our 2023 Domestic Violence Action Month Guide! Below you’ll find resources you can use to engage and take action in your community.

Learn how you can help someone in your life with our Friends and Family Guide

We learned a lot during the pandemic about the power of connection. If someone is having a hard time in their relationship, you can be a lifeline. Check out our Friends and Family Guide for how to help someone in an abusive relationship. Also available en espanol. Our update includes practical tips for staying connected. Check them out!


Join the conversation and learn at DVAM webinars and events!

Register for a Domestic Violence Action Month webinar or event to learn from advocates, survivors, and community organizers about ways we can all show up for domestic violence survivors and our communities.


Build connection in your community to talk about relationships

Staying connected is one of the most helpful things you can do to support someone who is experiencing abuse and to build resilient communities. When we get together to have open and honest conversations about relationships, we can help move our communities closer to safe, joyful relationships for everyone. Here are some ideas that you can use to stay connected.


Use our DVAM Social Media Toolkit

We know that staying connected is important – now more than ever! So we are continuing to focus on supporting communities to take action by promoting lessons from the English and Spanish Friends and Family Guides. Digital materials are sized for Instagram posts, Instagram and Facebook stories, and cover photos for you to use across all of your social media platforms.
