💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

Throughout October, the Antrim County Sheriff’s Office joins communities across the country in raising awareness about domestic violence, supporting survivors, and remembering those whose lives have been impacted by abuse.

Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, background, or circumstance. No one should have to live in fear in their own home.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. You are not alone.

💜 Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan
24-Hour Help & Information Line:
📞 (231) 347-0082
📞 (800) 275-1995

Serving Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet, and Otsego Counties.

In an emergency or if you are in immediate danger, call 911.

This October, we encourage our community to wear purple, learn the warning signs, support survivors, and help spread the message that domestic violence has no place in our homes or communities.

💜 Together, we can help break the silence and support those who need it most.
