Modoc Nation Behavioral Health

On October 15th, Modoc Nation Behavioral Health staff wore purple in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Day. 💜 By wearing purple, we stand in solidarity with survivors, honor those affected by domestic violence, and help raise awareness about the importance of healthy relationships, support, and prevention within our community.

This month is about more than awareness; it's about action. Here's how you can help: • Wear purple to show solidarity - Wear Purple Day is Oct 15!
• Share these posts to spread awareness in your own circle
• Donate to or volunteer with a local DV organization
• Simply check in on someone you haven't heard from in a while

Thank you for being part of a community that supports and believes survivors of domestic violence!

Go Purple for a Purpose 💜

Join us tomorrow for Purple Thursday to raise awareness for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Wear purple, show your support, and don’t forget to tag us in your posts!

Let's clear up a few misconceptions:

❌ Myth: "It only happens in certain communities." ✅ Fact: Domestic violence crosses every race, income level, age, and background.

❌ Myth: "If it were that bad, they'd just leave." ✅ Fact: Leaving is often the most dangerous time for a survivor. Setting up a safety plan is crucial and takes time and support.

Understanding the reality helps us respond with compassion, not judgment.
