PurpleOne

PurpleOne is a Campaign to Empower Communities United Against Domestic Violence. Initiated by Safe Journey and the Rural Domestic Violence Task Force in Union City, Pennsylvania. The campaign hopes to empower victims and community members to take action. PurpleOne empowers members of the community as potential bystanders – to assist you in becoming aware of domestic violence in our community, learning skills to respond to a domestic violence situation, and understanding when and how to refer a victim of domestic violence. This initiative also provides empowerment to victims of domestic violence by providing trained individuals in the community who can recognize, respond to and refer them to resources. This also provides multiple Safe Places within the community that have trained individuals who can assist them. Finally, this initiative seeks to unite the community around the eradication of domestic violence in our communities. This initiative includes: - Public Awareness through multiple media messages - Training of community members and organization staff to become PurpleOne Trained - Organizations becoming Safe Places for Domestic Violence Victims
