Domestic violence affects not only the victim, but the family as well. Besides the damage that can affect a child’s emotional, behavior and psychological development, there are physical dangers as well. In a national survey of American families, 50% of men who abuse their wives also abuse their children. The effect of domestic violence on children is a widespread problem. It is estimated that between 2.3 and 10 million children are exposed to domestic violence each year. Come enjoy workshop, food, resources, raffle and  music. Tickets cost: $35.00 includes lunch, workshop, music and Domestic violence resources.
