🛑 Domestic Violence Awareness w/ Ruth Glenn, NCADV (bonus) 🛑

Trigger warning: gun violence, stalking, partner violence, suicide October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. To begin to close things out I am sharing a conversation I had in 2021 with Ruth Glenn, President of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Ruth's story is one of survival, inspiration, and information for us all to use and share.  Let me be your breakup buddy! Get direct access to my calendar here to schedule a FREE consultation. Domestic violence is a prevalent and misunderstood issue impacting individuals and families in every community in this country. It is estimated that nearly 20 people per minute are being physically abused in the United States, with life-altering non-physical violence just as common but less recognized.  Yet as pervasive an issue as it is, there are myths and misunderstandings that make things even less safe for victims and survivors. In this re-drop Ruth and I share: -Her story of being abused by her husband -Why “why didn’t you leave??” misses the point and puts the blame on the abused person -How you can provide hope and support to someone in your life who may be being abused -How to recognize abuse in your relationship -How to be an advocate for victims and survivors Plus: how to get involved with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and join the movement against intimate partner violence.  The NCADV is 100% reliant on grassroots support and donations, not funded by government grants.
