HOW TO HELP: A WORKSHOP FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS

A
free workshop for Parents,
siblings, friends, coworkers and neighbors. We often feel scared and sometimes powerless
when we suspect that someone we care about is being abused by their partner.
The workshop highlights how to best support victims, encourage safe choices and
identify “red flags” of potentially lethal escalation. Participants learn the
“Ten Things to Do or Say” and the “Five Things to Never Do or Say” when talking
with a domestic violence victim as well as separate “Do and Don’t” lists for
engaging a perpetrator. The workshop is open to the public and all are welcome.
Please call to reserve a seat (314) 645-4848 by May 13. All fees are waived. Donations are
appreciated.
