Creating change is more successful over the longterm when it involves utilising the skills, resources, and benefits you already have. You don’t need to change careers and become an advocate to be a support person for survivors. You don’t need to have a formal degree, a large income, or meet some other kind of standard to be an effective agent towards change. There is no one correct way to be part of the work towards social change.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the theme for #DVAM2021 is resiliency.
