October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), and this year the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence(RICADV) has launched a new public awareness campaign calling on the community to help end domestic violence.

Mediators and all Rhode Islanders are called upon to “know the signs” and to learn more about subtle and commonly overlooked forms of abuse.

This month, the campaign will include survivor stories on social media, radio and Pandora public service announcements in English and Spanish, TV public service announcements across local stations and billboards and ads displayed throughout our state.

Look for a video interview series through Rhode Informa and featured stories in The Providence Journal.
