How One Domestic Violence Shelter Empowers Men to Be A Part of Ending Violence In Their Community

Melissa Echerd is the Prevention and Education Officer for Sheltering Wings, a shelter for domestic violence victims in Hendricks County. We discuss the signs of an abusive relationship and resources on how to leave. We also discuss their Men In Action initiative, which recruits hundreds of men from their county to lead and mentor to curb violence, including a reading event that places men in every elementary classroom on a single day in March to read an empowering story to kids.Men In Action Read - https://shelteringwings.org/men-in-action-read/Their website - https://shelteringwings.org/Quizzes - https://www.loveisrespect.org/quizzes/Join our Patreon now for commercial-free shows, bonus content and our complete archives - https://www.patreon.com/wearelibertarians----Thanks to our sponsor, Lions of Liberty.
