Raising Awareness This Valentine’s Day
On Valentine’s Day 2025, A New Leaf was featured in a special ABC15 news segment highlighting the dangers of domestic violence and the importance of community awareness. While the holiday is often associated with love and celebration, it can also be a difficult time for those living in unsafe relationships. The segment reminded viewers that domestic violence remains a serious and widespread issue, impacting people of all ages, backgrounds, and communities across Arizona.
Nearly one in four women and one in ten men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Beyond the immediate physical harm, abuse creates long-lasting emotional, financial, and psychological scars. By shining a light on this issue during Valentine’s Day, the ABC15 coverage helped start crucial conversations about recognizing the signs of abuse and ensuring that survivors know they are not alone.
