November is Women Abuse Prevention Month.
The goal is to raise awareness and help end violence towards women.
Development Manager with Halton Women’s Place, Carm Bozzo, says it’s an opportunity to put an emphasis on prevention and education.
Bozzo adds that the holidays can often be an added stress on families.
She says it’s a stressful time for every family, and that those suffering from abuse may feel even worse.
Bozzo talks about warning signs to look out for when it comes to abuse in a relationship.
