October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October 07, 2022

Earlier this week, representatives from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, City of Jacksonville, the State Attorney's Office, and regional criminal justice agencies joined with the CEOs from three local domestic violence shelters to hold a news conference reaffirming their

commitment to ending domestic violence.

“Domestic Violence has no boundaries and early intervention can prevent escalation. So, no matter if the abuse is physical, emotional, sexual, or economic related, know this… your life matters and we are here for you," said Jackson Short, Director of Investigations and Homeland Security for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

To learn more about the four main types of abuse and services that are available, please visit hubbardhouse.org. Individuals who are in an abusive relationship, or know someone who is, are urged to call or text 9-1-1.

Those needing someone to talk to can reach out to Hubbard House at: 904.354.1114 or text: 904.210.3698.
