October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month.This week I have some important dates from the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (LCADV). The Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence is the federally designated statewide coalition of shelters, non-residential programs and individuals working to end domestic violence in Louisiana. Their programs serve people from everywhere in Louisiana and who come from all backgrounds. They oppose violence as a means of control over others and support equality in relationships. For more information about events, advocacy, and volunteering with this great organization visit their website at www.lcadv.org. In the meantime....
