Suffering in Silence

In this episode, we dive into the challenging and often hidden issues of domestic violence. Where silence can be the norm, even in faith-based settings. Beverly Reddy, the founder, and CEO of Ishsah’s Place discusses the cultural barriers that prevent open conversations, the silence within families, and the role of education in breaking this cycle of secrecy. We explore how faith communities can better equip themselves to support survivors, focusing on the need for education, resources, and a compassionate approach to care. Special attention is given to how initiatives like the "Safe Sanctuaries" program are transforming the way pastors and faith leaders approach domestic violence, creating safe spaces where women can seek help without being sent back into harm's way.To learn more about Ishshah’s Place go to their website https://www.ishshahsplace.org/ Visit https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-patients-program to stay updated on both past and upcoming episodes.
