Domestic Violence

Hi everyone! I have been very busy at work and away from the board lately.

I am a social worker and I work primarily with Domestic Violence survivors. Domestic violence is both a local and global epidemic. During October, we take the opportunity to call awareness to the issue and to mourn those whose lives have been cut short due to domestic violence. We also celebrate the courage of survivors and renew our commitment to creating a world free of abuse.

Domestic Violence is best understood as a pattern of abusive behaviors including physical, sexual and psychological attacks as well as economic coercion used by one partner against another to gain, maintain or regain power and control in the relationship.

To find help for you or someone you know call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800- 799-SAFE(800-799-7233). This can safe someone life!

I know this email is off topic, but maybe can be helpful to someone. I hope you are all safe! Take care
