1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will experience domestic abuse during their life. COVID-19 has exacerbated the amount of domestic abuse in our community.

Juan Carlos Arean of FUTURES discussed how to address trauma through abusive partner intervention programs with the Alma center and Family Peace initiative. Read or listen here: https://bit.ly/343FANO #DVAM #PromisingFutures

"Like many other victim advocates, we believe that the resources spent on mass incarceration should be used to reinvest in underserved communities for prevention programs. By providing support, job training and rehabilitative services, we can prevent crime at the local level, help formerly incarcerated people successfully reintegrate into society and make our communities safer."

Today's resource highlight is CUAV. "Founded in 1979, CUAV works to build the power of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) communities to transform violence and oppression. We support the healing and leadership of those impacted by abuse and mobilize our broader communities to replace cycles of trauma with cycles of safety and liberation. As part of the larger social justice movement, CUAV works to create truly safe communities where everyone can thrive." - https://www.cuav.org/about-1 #dvam #dvam2020 #dvawareness
