HUTCHINSON, Kan. — October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and a great opportunity to learn more about domestic violence.&nbsp;

BrightHouse of Hutchinson has been working for the duration of the pandemic to provide essential services to those experiencing domestic violence. For the month of October, BrightHouse will be sharing information daily on its <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brighthouseks">Facebook page</a>&nbsp;to help raise awareness of domestic violence.&nbsp;

Statistics show one in four women and one in seven men experience domestic violence in their lifetime.

Some communities are more affected by abuse and experience more barriers to safety because of race, age, class, immigration status, language, physical ability, gender or sexual orientation.&nbsp;

BrightHouse has also sent letters and proclamations to area mayors inviting them to declare October Domestic Violence Awareness Month.&nbsp;

BrightHouse provides service to Harper, Kingman, Reno and Rice counties.
