“Both my husband and my sister experienced domestic violence at various points in their lives, so the issue is personal for me. The Center is unique in its holistic approach to addressing the range of people touched by violence – from victims and abusers to witnesses. We cannot be healthy as society unless we are all healthy. The Center has excellent programs and it well regarded in the community.”
