Duluth Gives Proclamation For Awareness

April Is National Abuse Awareness Month

Mayor Emily Larson teamed up with County Attorney Mark Rubin who issued their own proclamation.

St. Louis County Court House was littered with supports of the cause as they declared April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Experts spoke up for the need to understand that it is a difficult subject to talk about, but silence is never the answer.

“You can become somebody that speaks out on the issue, gets informed about it, talk to your friends about it. Silence is what lets it keep going,” says PAVSA Executive Director, Candy Harshner.

If you would like to help PAVSA is always taking volunteers to cover their 24 hour crisis hotline.
