The theme for this year’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month is Every1KnowsSome1. Domestic violence is likely happening to somebody you care about, whether you can see it or not. Domestic violence comes in many forms, and it’s not just physical violence. While domestic violence can leave physical marks, it can also leave bruises on your credit, financial wellbeing, and your emotional and mental state.
