Together, We Can Shine a Light on Domestic Violence

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to come together as a community to raise awareness, support survivors, remember those whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence, and remind those experiencing abuse that they are not alone.

Domestic violence can happen in any community, to people of any age, background, or circumstance. It can take many forms, including physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, and financial abuse. While October gives us an opportunity to bring this issue to the forefront, creating safe and healthy communities is something we believe in all year long.

At Time Out Shelter, we stand for safety, hope, healing, and the belief that everyone deserves to live free from fear and abuse. We stand alongside survivors as they work toward a safer future, and we believe our entire community has a role to play in creating change.

Awareness matters because it starts conversations. It helps us recognize the signs of abuse, understand the barriers survivors may face, and learn how we can respond with compassion and support. Most importantly, awareness reminds survivors that they are believed, valued, and deserving of safety.

Join Us at Lanterns on the Lake

One of the most meaningful ways our community comes together during Domestic Violence Awareness Month is through our annual Lanterns on the Lake event.

Each lantern represents a light in the darkness — a symbol of hope, remembrance, strength, and support. Together, we gather to honor survivors, remember lives impacted by domestic violence, and stand united in our commitment to a safer community.

We invite you to join us at Lanterns on the Lake this October. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors. Light a lantern. Show your support. Help us send a message to survivors in our community: You are not alone. We see you. We stand with you.

When our community comes together, we can shine a light on domestic violence and help create a future where everyone has the opportunity to live safely and freely.

Join us. Light a lantern. Stand with survivors.
