October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This is a time to acknowledge domestic violence survivors and be a voice for its victims. Domestic violence is prevalent in every community, and affects all people regardless of age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. Physical violence is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior as part of a larger, systematic pattern of dominance and control.
Domestic violence can result in physical injury, psychological trauma, and even death. The devastating consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and a last a lifetime.
If you are a victim of domestic violence or know someone who is, please contact: the Domestic Violence Hotline at

Fall Nature Walk
|
Now that the season is changing, take a walk in your neighborhood with your child or family.
Use each sense:
·How does the air feel different than it
did in summer?
·Does it smell different?
·How are the colors different?
·Collect fallen leaves. How do the
different textures feel?
·What does fall sound like? Wind?
Rain?
Collect fall items such as leaves and sticks to take home and make a fall collage!
