April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Sexual violence is a major public health, human rights, and social justice issue that has no place in homes, neighborhoods, schools or workplaces. This year’s theme Be.the.One. Believe Survivors focuses on how community members can support survivors of sexual assault by listening to their stories, letting them control their next steps, and helping them feel validated. Join upcoming events happening throughout April to raise awareness.

Domestic and Sexual Violence Services Offers Help to People Impacted by Interpersonal Violence

According to Deadline.com, an online entertainment news magazine, Lifetime’s “Surviving R. Kelly” was the strongest non-fiction series in seven years among adults ages 25-54 (1.2 million viewers) and women ages 25-54 (858,000 viewers). In light of the interest in this series and the conversations deriving from it, Fairfax County’s Domestic and Sexual Violence Services, a division of the Department of Family Services, wants to reach out to survivors, victims, families, friends and communities impacted by interpersonal violence to make sure the resources available in Fairfax County are known.
