00:01.090 --> 00:04.070
aloha , everyone each october our

00:04.070 --> 00:06.260
nation stands together in support of

00:06.260 --> 00:08.430
national domestic violence awareness

00:08.430 --> 00:10.600
month . This year is no different .

00:10.730 --> 00:12.674
Marine Corps base . Hawaii remains

00:12.674 --> 00:15.010
united against domestic abuse and is

00:15.010 --> 00:17.450
committed to the safety and well being

00:17.650 --> 00:20.060
of our military families . This year's

00:20.060 --> 00:22.004
theme of breaking the silence is a

00:22.004 --> 00:23.838
reminder that if you have or are

00:23.838 --> 00:25.893
currently experiencing abuse in your

00:25.893 --> 00:28.004
relationship , you don't have to face

00:28.004 --> 00:31.420
it alone . We know this can be hard but

00:31.420 --> 00:33.476
there are resources on our base like

00:33.476 --> 00:35.587
the family advocacy program and other

00:35.587 --> 00:38.280
community resources . Our staff is here

00:38.280 --> 00:40.440
to help you together . We can build

00:40.440 --> 00:42.740
trust and confidence for you to share

00:42.740 --> 00:44.962
your experience in a safe environment .

00:45.730 --> 00:47.841
We all deserve to be in relationships

00:47.841 --> 00:49.897
that are healthy and free from abuse

00:49.897 --> 00:51.800
and violence . If your partner's

00:51.800 --> 00:53.470
actions hurt you or make you

00:53.470 --> 00:56.050
uncomfortable in any way , please reach

00:56.050 --> 00:58.460
out to the resources available after

00:58.460 --> 01:00.627
this message . Additionally , I'd like

01:00.627 --> 01:02.793
to reiterate that you can always trust

01:02.793 --> 01:04.904
your chain of command to help provide

01:04.904 --> 01:06.627
support to you and your family

01:06.760 --> 01:08.990
Preventing and responding allegations

01:08.990 --> 01:10.920
of domestic abuse is everyone's

01:10.920 --> 01:14.080
responsibility . Domestic violence is

01:14.090 --> 01:16.330
preventable , but only with the help of

01:16.330 --> 01:18.640
our entire community . If you or

01:18.640 --> 01:20.973
someone you know is an immediate danger ,

01:20.973 --> 01:23.640
please don't hesitate to call 911

01:23.750 --> 01:26.310
together . We can help make sure our

01:26.310 --> 01:29.090
military families are safe and healthy

01:29.110 --> 01:31.360
Mahalo for your support in breaking the

01:31.360 --> 01:34.240
