July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month

July is BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to recognize the unique challenges and experiences faced by BIPOC individuals regarding mental health. As we observe this month, it is important to highlight the intersections of domestic violence and BIPOC mental health.


Domestic violence affects people of all races and ethnicities, but BIPOC individuals are disproportionately affected. They are more likely to experience domestic violence and less likely to receive the support and resources they need to heal and recover. This can significantly impact their mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.

DV Counts Day is September 6, 2023


Domestic Violence Programs in New York State will join domestic violence programs across the US in participating in the National DV Counts Day on September 6, 2023, organized by the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV.) This is a one-day, unduplicated count of adults and children seeking domestic violence services in the United States. This annual survey documents the number of people who sought services in a single 24-hour period, as well as the types of services requested, the number of service requests that went unmet due to a lack of resources, and the issues and barriers domestic violence programs face in providing services to victims.


Each year, the Domestic Violence Counts Report summarizes this data and is instrumental in raising awareness about domestic violence and the incredible work local domestic violence programs do daily, providing lifesaving services to survivors and their families. Year after year, state, territorial, and local advocates, national experts, journalists and reporters, and policymakers rely on the report to understand the realities advocates and survivors face.
