Not just a group for support also to create awareness. Family and domestic violence is not a topic widely talked about. It’s not generally something that comes up at barbecues, birthday parties or other gatherings. You rarely see it on the news unless somebody is murdered or similar. What do you know about the stats of family and domestic violence? Do you know how to contact helplines? How to access the court system? How to protect yourself? What should you do once/when you leave an abusive relationship? This is the place to find those answers. Suggestions from members is welcome.
