In these challenging times of social distancing, CentacareCQ invites Central Highlands residents to stand together on one special night in May in aid of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

On Wednesday, May 27 at 7pm, the community is invited to light a candle in remembrance of the lives lost as a result of domestic and family violence.

CentacareCQ invites residents to share the “Shine a Light on Domestic Violence Awareness” event on their Facebook page.

People are also welcome to show their support by posting a photo of their candle in the event page.

CentacareCQ provides supports and services to adults, children and young people who are experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, domestic and family violence.

These confidential services are offered at our Emerald site, and via outreach to surrounding areas.
