DOMESTIC/INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AWARENESS PRESENTATION

Domestic violence and emotional abuse are behaviors used by one person in a relationship to control the other. Partners may be married or not, come from any sexual orientation, live together, are separated or dating. Parties in the relationship may also be immediate family members or distant relatives.

The violence takes many forms and can happen all the time or once in a while. Power and control may be exerted through physical, verbal, psychological, economic and/or sexual abuse. It may involve intimidating and/or frightening someone through threats or beating and may occur repeatedly, over a period of time, or just once.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Learn about the cycle of violence, how to identify warning signs of a troubled and abusive relationship, and hear from a survivor about her personal experience. Presented by Peace Over Violence.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DVPOV.
