Dove House Advocacy Services has served Port Townsend and Jefferson County since 1982. It has grown to include Advocacy work, a Domestic Violence Shelter, the Dove House Recovery Café,
Dove House Closet, and both transitional and permanent housing. Dove House could not grow and support our clients without partnerships in the community. We appreciate you!

History of Domestic Violence Awareness Month
October 1981: The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence declares a national Day of Unity <https://dovehousejc.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=11c807732f07d71364cb7c641&id=ac9b90a5e2&e=c66e7
a313f> on October 17th to raise public awareness around domestic violence and to support abuse survivors. In keeping with previous women’s rights work and demonstrations, purple is
adopted as the official color of the Day of Unity.
October 1987: The very first Domestic Violence Awareness Month is observed. At the same time, the first toll-free national domestic violence hotline <https://dovehousejc.us17.list-manage.com/track/cl
ick?u=11c807732f07d71364cb7c641&id=a988d6ed65&e=c66e7a313f> is established. Today, you can reach it at (800) 799-7233.
1989: Congress passes Public Law 101-112, which officially establishes October as the federally observed Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
2010: Katherine Hudson co-founds “Wear It Purple Day” in support of LGBTQIA+ youth struggles and resilience. This eventually becomes Purple Thursday, a day that is observed on the third
Thursday of every October. Later, Purple Thursday (also called “Go Purple Day”) is also adopted by domestic violence advocacy organizations.

Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft
Lundy Bancroft, a counselor with decades of experience working with abusive men, explains how abusive and controlling partners think, why they behave the way they do, and what survivors
can do to protect themselves. The book challenges common myths—showing that abuse is not caused by anger, stress, or mental illness, but by attitudes of entitlement, power, and control.
Braving the wilderness: the quest for true belonging and the courage to stand alone. by Brené Brown
Brené Brown explores what it means to truly belong—not by fitting in, but by being authentic, even when that means standing alone. She argues that belonging starts with self-acceptance
and courage, and that in a divided, disconnected world, we must learn to stand strong in our values while still connecting with others through respect and compassion.

The myth of normal: trauma, illness, & healing in a toxic culture by Maté, Gabor
Gabor Maté, a physician and trauma expert, argues that much of what society calls “normal” is actually unhealthy. He shows how modern culture—driven by stress, disconnection, inequality,
and pressure to perform—creates conditions that fuel trauma and chronic illness. Healing requires both personal transformation and cultural change toward greater compassion, authenticity,
and connection.
Should I stay or should I go?: a guide to knowing if your relationship can--and should--be saved by Lundy Bancroft.
This book is written for people questioning whether to continue or leave a troubled relationship. It offers tools to evaluate a partner’s behavior, distinguish between change that is
real versus superficial, and make decisions based on safety, respect, and emotional well-being. The authors especially address relationships involving abuse or control, making clear
that survivors deserve clarity and support.

Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life by Henry Cloud & John Townsend
This book teaches the importance of healthy personal boundaries—knowing where your responsibility ends and another person’s begins. Without boundaries, people often feel overwhelmed,
resentful, or taken advantage of. With boundaries, you can live with greater freedom, responsibility, and healthier relationships.
