# This October: Solace Is Staying Busy. Join Us for Domestic Violence Awareness Month
by [Solace](https://seeksolace.care/news/author/solace) on September 28, 2026
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time when communities across the country come together to honor survivors, raise awareness, and strengthen the movement toward safety and healing. At Solace, this month is one of our busiest, and most meaningful, as we show up across Sioux Falls to connect, educate, and stand with survivors.
We’d love to see you at any (or all) of our October events. Each one offers a unique way to engage with our mission, learn more about our work, and support survivors in our region.
## **October Events**
### **October 1 — Take Back the Night**
**USF Salsbury Science Center
5:30–8:00 PM**
Take Back the Night is a powerful evening dedicated to raising awareness about sexual and domestic violence. Join us as we walk, gather, and stand in solidarity with survivors and advocates across the community.
### **October 8 — Cultivating Courage**
**Sanford Event Barn**
**5:30–8:30 PM**
Our signature annual event returns for an evening rooted in connection, courage, and meaningful impact. Cultivating Courage brings together supporters, partners, and advocates to celebrate the journey to solace — guided by courage, led to healing.
