Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast
Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast is a collaborative project of Branches Domestic Violence Shelter that is designed to shed light on issues of domestic violence that continue to oppress victims daily--these conversations will educate and empower listeners to recognize the insidious footprint of domestic violence in our communities as well as best practices for effective advocacy. With 1 in 4 women facing domestic violence in their life time, and communities of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community facing higher rates and more risk for reporting DV, there has never been a more urgent call to create not only trauma-informed services, but space for all of us to be members of a trauma-responsive community. This podcast can be your first step.

Read For Each Other: A Look at "You Should See Me in a Crown" by Leah Johnson
In honor of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month during February, Branches advocates took a look at "You Should See Me in a Crown" by Leah Johnson for this month's Branches Book Club February selection. Funny, charming, and full of heart, this book is a perfect pick for teens but also an important reminder for adults. Shannon and Sara talk the sweet beginnings of teen LGBTQ+ love, how high school helps us grow into our identity, and how "we deserve this good thing."
