Candlelight vigil in Shelton to honor survivors, remember victims of domestic violence
SHELTON - Every October, the nation observes Domestic Violence Awareness Month to bring light to an issue that affects all of our communities.
Every 9 seconds, a woman is battered in the U.S. One in four women and one in seven men in the U.S. are victims of domestic violence at some point in their lives.
To raise awareness about domestic violence, BHcare’s The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services and Hope Family Justice Center of New Haven will hold a vigil to honor survivors and remember the victims of domestic violence.
Our 15th Annual Candlelight Vigil will be held at 6 p.m Oct. 11 at Veteran’s Park, 38 Canal St. East.
Rebecca Barry, Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney, will be the keynote speaker. Local police officers will be recognized for their role in the fight against domestic violence.
For more information about the vigil, or about domestic violence services visit www.BHcare.org.
If you need immediate assistance, please call our 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline 1-888-774-2900.
UCDVS is a program of BHcare that provides services for victims and children of domestic violence free of charge.
Each year, nearly 6,000 domestic violence victims, survivors and their children walk through the door of UCDVS looking for shelter, help, and hope.
HFJC, a program of BHcare, is a collaboration of multiple community providers under one roof providing free wraparound services for domestic violence survivors and their families.
Victims of domestic violence receive support, healing, and pathways to empowerment.
