TODAY THRU MONDAY
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH, October 2015:
Beginning today, Army leaders at all levels will
emphasize the positive impact of Army Values on relationships as they join the
nation in observing Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Domestic violence
awareness campaigns will bring awareness to an issue which undermines the Army
Values and has the potential to end careers -- and even lives. This year’s
Department of Defense theme is “It starts with respect: Live by core values to
keep your relationship healthy and strong.”
Programs are designed to promote awareness, encourage reporting, provide
safety for victims and ensure treatment or administrative action for offenders.
The Army Victim Advocacy Program, a program within U.S. Installation Management
Command, provides prevention, education and intervention services for victims.
For more information about victim advocacy services available at your
installation, contact your local Army Community Service center. For immediate
assistance, call Military OneSource at 1-800-342-9647 or the National Domestic
Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
