9/18/14-Suffolk County Coalition Against Domestic Violence

Today we had a chance to hear from Colleen Merlo, Executive Director for the Suffolk County Coalition against Domestic Violence.  Colleen and Shannon gave a great presentation on all the services available to people in need.  They have a 24 hour hotline 631-666-8833 and have a people in many different fields available to help out people in need.  They have emergency housing available to get people is safe situations as soon as they need.  They are going around bringing awareness to this issue which has only gotten magnified in the media by the recent NFL problems.  Its a shame that such a service is needed, but they are doing a great job helping out families in need.
