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.
