Join us this October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month as we LIGHT UP THE NIGHT in PURPLE 💜
The color purple symbolizes courage, survival, and hope—shining this light honors those we have lost, stands in solidarity with survivors, and lets those still suffering in silence know they are not alone.
You can buy purple bulbs at local hardware stores and Walmart, or pick one up for FREE at the G.A.R.F. office or G.A.R.F.'s display inside the Artisan Way display case at the Campbell County Courthouse.
Together we can illuminate a path to safety for everyone 💜

💜🦋 **SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION & AWARENESS MONTH** 🦋💜

At Campbell County Su***de Awareness and Prevention, su***de prevention isn’t something we think about for just one month—it matters **every single day, all year long.**

But September gives us an opportunity to bring special attention to something our community can never talk about too much:

💜 **Hope matters.**
🦋 **Connection matters.**
💜 **Kindness matters.**
🦋 **YOU matter.**

Su***de prevention doesn't always look like a crisis intervention. Sometimes, it looks like checking on a friend. Sitting with someone who is having a hard day. Sending a text that says, *“I was thinking about you.”* Smiling at a stranger. Including someone who feels left out. Offering patience instead of judgment.

Small acts of kindness can remind someone that they are **seen, valued, and not alone.**

So, as we begin Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month, we have a challenge for Campbell County:

✨ **SPREAD KINDNESS.** ✨

Tell us in the comments: **How will YOU spread kindness today?** 💜

And stay tuned throughout September! 👀🦋 We have some very special awareness displays planned around our community.

🦋 Watch for butterflies on the Campbell County Courthouse lawn, each carrying a message and a purpose.

💜 Eli will also be making a special appearance in our display at the courthouse!

And there is more to come throughout the month as we work together to start conversations, spread hope, remember those we've lost, support those who are struggling, and remind our community that **no one has to walk through the hard days alone.**

Let's fill Campbell County with kindness this September. 💜

One conversation.
One connection.
One act of kindness at a time.

🦋 **Foster Connection. Instill Hope. Promote Healing.** 🦋
