 Domestic Violence Awareness

Dear Community Member, 
There are many ways your organization can help, some of the ideas are:

· Including information regarding Domestic Violence Awareness ;
· Distributing brochures and information regarding available services;
· Inviting a guest speaker from our agency to conduct workshops on this topic which include Bullying 101, Healthy Relationships, Unhealthy Relationships, Stereotypes and Media Violence.
· Allowing our agency to provide an in-service to staff and/or clients on the services that are available.
· Donate your old cell phone in order to provide victims of domestic violence access to 911 in the event of an emergency and to help our agency raise funds that go directly to client services.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
