DESCRIPTION:What does domestic violence and family abuse look like? Could it be happening to you or someone you know? What stops those who experience family abuse from getting the help they need?

During the presentation\, a survivor/advocate will tell her story and share her experiences. The protective order process from intake through trial will be reviewed.
