October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to mark the occasion, Rachel Coalition and Montclair Community Pre-K present In Her Shoes, an experiential workshop and interactive discussion on Wednesday, October 5 at 7 p.m. This free event is open to members of the community and takes place at Montclair Community Pre-K, 49 Orange Road in Montclair.
Many people wonder why women stay in an abusive relationship, why victims of abuse make the choices they do or how someone might cope in an abusive situation. The event will feature a panel of law enforcement, legal and mental health professionals discussing the impacts of domestic violence on victims and children. Following the discussion, the In Her Shoes workshop will lead participants through the experience of what a victim of domestic violence has to do once she decides to reach out for help.
Registration required, please contact Sylvia Heller at 973-765-9050 x1708 or sheller@jfsmetrowest.org.
