2016 November 16 Rotary Meeting

Anne Brewer and Kelsey from Safe Home shared information on how domestic violence impacts the workplace and what you can do to help a coworker in that situation.

Domestic Violence is about power and control;

Types of abuse include:

*Physical

*Emotional/Psychological

*Sexual

*Financial

A victim will leave their situation and return usually 7 times before they develop the means/confidence to leave permanently.

As a coworker you can help in these manners:  Recognize their is problem, respond to the problem and finally refer them to a professional.
