π October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. π
Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported, both at work and at home.
Throughout October, American Workforce Group is joining communities across Washington in raising awareness about domestic violence, standing alongside survivors, and sharing resources that can help those who need support.
The purple ribbon reminds us that no one should have to face abuse alone.

At American Workforce Group, we care about the people who make up our communities. Your safety and well-being matter.
You deserve safety. You deserve respect. You deserve support. π
