Officials with the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) are seeking comments from the public regarding the federal grant that provides important health services to mothers and children.

Overview

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is observed each October. It was first observed in 1987. While outreach campaigns occur year-round, October is when many independent organizations, as well as municipal, state and federal partners, bring heightened attention to domestic violence, including dating violence.

While most children tend to not get very sick if they become infected with COVID-19, children across the country and in South Carolina have become severely ill and have died from COVID-19.

Children who have COVID-19, whether they become ill with symptoms or not, can easily spread the virus to other people in their home, at school, and in their community.
