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.

Style It in Violet--Advocates Talk Shop with Stylists
This very special episode talks about the real life experiences that led to the creation of Branches' newest training campaign, "Style It in Violet" which provides training for stylists and salon owners on how to recognize the signs of domestic violence as well as the services that are available if they do encounter someone experiencing it.
Advocates Emily & Sara talk about how a conversation with Oliva, a local soon-to-be stylist in our community came up with this idea to help every day folks advocate for victims of domestic violence.
