As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to an end, remember that domestic violence is an issue that concerns us year-round. If you or someone you know needs help, call 1-800-799-SAFE or visit the national domestic violence hotline for more resources. thehotline.org
A firearm in the household increases the risk of someone being killed by 500%, regardless of who owns the assault weapon. This also contributes to higher rates of domestic violence in a hosuehold. rd.com/culture/facts-…
"The physical, emotional, and psychological fallout from domestic violence can last days, months, years, or a lifetime--for those who survive, that is.”

Take a stand against domestic violence this month and every month. #DVAM2019 pinnacletreatment.com/blog/domestic-…

It's Domestic Violence Awareness Month. And the first thing I want you to think about is Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) in the NFL.

(No really. It will connect. Keep reading.)

Did you see how many Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) happen in the NFL each year? 281!

Holy cow. That's awful.

And as shocking as that is, it's WAY worse in the military.

Our soldiers experience 18,000 Traumatic Brain Injuries each year. 18,000!!!
Wanna guess how many women have Traumatic Brain Injuries each year because their violent male partner beat them up?

1,600,000.

That's right: 1,600,000 TBIs for women each year from intimate partner violence (IPV).
