This week, our Calumet Center hosted the Purple Hat Brunch, marking 10 years of the center shining awareness on Domestic Violence (DV). The event included speeches from two DV survivors who emphasized the theme of Heal, Hold & Center which embraces the many cultural ways we can heal from violence and oppression, commit to holding space for survivors, and center those most marginalized in all our efforts to end domestic violence. If you or someone you know is in need of help, please reach out to our 24/7 hotline at 630-469-5650.
