In a recent government meeting, officials highlighted a series of initiatives aimed at raising awareness and providing resources for domestic violence prevention. The Strategic Initiatives team has partnered with New Life Center to conduct parent presentations at three schools within the Roosevelt School District and one in the Cave Creek Unified School District.

Upcoming events include domestic violence resource fairs at Camelback High School and Bioscience High School, as well as a themed game at Camelback High to promote awareness. The community engagement efforts are part of the \"Paint Phoenix Purple\" campaign, which collaborates with various organizations to host free events throughout October, designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Notable activities include a virtual domestic violence awareness training on October 10, a self-defense and empowerment workshop on October 12, and a breast cancer and domestic violence awareness walk on October 20. Additionally, a community conversation featuring a survivor's story will take place on October 23 at the Burton Bar Central Library.

The meeting also featured expressions of gratitude from council members towards the staff and community partners for their ongoing efforts in supporting survivors of domestic violence. Council members emphasized the importance of education in breaking the cycle of abuse and commended the initiatives for providing crucial resources to those in need.

The meeting concluded with a call for continued community support and engagement, underscoring the significance of awareness and education in addressing domestic violence. For more information on the events and resources, residents are encouraged to visit the Paint Phoenix Purple website.
