October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the City of Mobile is helping to raise awareness about domestic violence and its impact on local fami
lies. Later this month, the Mobile Police Department, City of Mobile Parks and Recreation Department and advocacy groups like Mothers Involved Against Gun Violence will be hosting a “Power of Purple” Resource Fair.
The event will include mini-educational sessions, engaging activities related to self-care, informational booths, and a tribute to survivors of domestic violence. The “Power of Purple” Resource Fair will be held on Saturday, October 21, from 10 a.m. to noon, at Seals Community Center . “The recent domestic-related shootings in our city means that we must do more to save families,” said Nija Hill, founder of Mothers Involved Against Gun Violence. “Children who witness domestic violence may be at greater risk of being violent toward others, especially if they see it too often. Together, I believe with education, we can end the cycle of domestic violence.
There will also be engaging activities related to self-care hosted by the MPD Victim Services Unit and Family Intervention Team. The Mobile County Health Department’s Community Prevention Services Team, City of Mobile’s Community Affairs Department and Wings of Life are a few of the agencies that will have informational booths set up at the event.
