Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which initially began in 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as a Day of Unity to connect women's advocates across the country. Domestic violence affects millions of people of every race, religion, gender expression, sexual orientation, culture & socioeconomic status. If you would like to speak with an advocate from the Cleveland Domestic Violence Center please call 1.800.799.SAFE(7233) for free, confidential, 24/7 assistance. Please join us on October 15th for an eye-opening presentation about relationships. Details below in the special events section of this newsletter.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Although CSU Health & Wellness and the Women's Center has had to postpone our annual Mobile Mammogram program until next year, we urge you to call your doctor today to schedule a mammogram elsewhere. For info on FREE mammograms in your area visit freemammograms.org. Breast cancer awareness is important, but so is breast health awareness. To learn about common breast problems you may not know about, download NBCF's free ebook Breast Problems That Aren't Breast Cancer.
