AUDIO: October Is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

1 in 3.

That’s the number of women who will experience domestic violence in their lives. Even if you are not one of them, you probably know someone who is.

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Ann Colella-Murray of the Women’s Center of Beaver County talked about it with Matt Drzik on the October 16 edition of A.M. Beaver County.

Colella-Murray spoke about the early signs of abuse or control between a victim of domestic violence and the perpetrator, and the results that may occur if not dealt with properly. She also spoke about what ways are proper to deal with a victim’s situation, and how the Women’s Center is providing help in those avenues.

The Women’s Center has a 24-hour help line that can be reached by dialing (724) 775-0131 or (877) 629-1841.
