Domestic Violence Awareness Month
El Refugio, Inc. strives to continually educate and bring awareness to all individuals of Grant & Hidalgo Counties regarding the devastating effects of domestic violence in our communities. Our HOPE is that by providing continued attention, education and awareness to this issue, a better understanding of the importance of working together becomes a priority. Together we can reduce the incidences and trauma of domestic violence and ultimately become partners in peace.
We invite YOU to participate & support DV Awareness Month
