BWNO: The Pervasive Heart of America - Nicole Doty

Domestic violence, especially during certain periods tends to peak and the attraction to it becomes magnified. Little does this do for those who live in environments where they are exposed to this continuously. On top of the typical traits of control, also throw into the mix a dynamic where you literally have to go the extra mile to get out of the container that you've set up your life and bedded everything into. In comes Nicole Doty, the President and a co-founder of The Emergeré Corporation. Emergeré, as it's popularly referred to, is a support service bridging infrastructures of public and private services in assisting those fleeing domestic violence.  Nicole Doty shares her story of coming into the understanding of the need for women to have safety, security, and compassion in how domestic abuse survivors are impacted. Taking the approach further, Nicole outlines a new movement of care and collaboration with vulnerable women, men, and their children, taking a look at both sides of the coin. Often left out in the aftermath is the perpetrator. Listen to what Nicole has in mind... How's Your Heart? Contact Nicole Doty: www.theemergere.org
