đź’ś Today is Purple Thursday! đź’ś
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Purple Thursday is a day to wear purple to show support for survivors, raise awareness, and remind those experiencing domestic violence that help is available.
Pictured are the Victim Advocates from the Belton Police Department and Cass County Sheriff's Office at the Cass County Courthouse. Every Wednesday, advocates from both agencies attend the Adult Abuse Court docket, providing support, information, and assistance to individuals navigating the court process.
While October brings special attention to domestic violence, supporting survivors is something we do year-round.
The Cass County Sheriff's Office Victim Services Unit has sponsored an informational table at the courthouse throughout October, featuring educational materials and resources for those affected by domestic violence.
đź’ś Today, we encourage everyone to wear purple, show their support, and help spread the message that no one has to face domestic violence alone.
Whether you're ready to seek help, have questions about your options, or just need someone to talk to, the Belton Police Department Victim Services Unit is here to help.
