October 16 is Purple Thursday, a national effort to support victims of domestic violence and raise awareness about its prevalence.
The week of October 13, local businesses AesthetiCareKC (9225 Ward Parkway) Crows Coffee (both Red Bridge and Waldo locations) and LadyCo (314 W. 63rd St.) will offer Rose Brooks purple ribbon buttons to be worn on the 16th in solidarity with survivors.
Rose Brooks provides a free hotline, shelter and counseling services to anyone experiencing domestic violence, along with community training on healthy relationships and support/advocacy roles.
