October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. To help raise awareness, Minot State held a Take Back the Night Event. Community members met up with the school`s Social Services Organization to shed some light on the rising problem. Domestic violence can be experienced through physical, mental and emotional abuse.

The MSU group knows that raising awareness is the first step to ending domestic violence.

“The more people we can get involved to raise awareness to raise understanding, the increased opportunities we have to actually implement prevention instead of reactionary measures”, said Dionne Spooner, a Clinical Social Worker.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence contact the Domestic Violence Crisis Center here in Minot.
