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.
Root For Each Other: A Branches Podcast
LIVE from Pick Your Potion: Avoiding Toxicity & the Alchemy of Healthy Relationships
This episode of Root for Each Other was recorded LIVE from our Pick Your Potion: Avoiding Toxicity and the Alchemy of Healthy Relationships event from earlier this Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Listen to experts Dr. Wendy Perkins of MU's Criminal Justice department, Jaxson Miller, Counselor in Residence at MU, and Sara Blevins O'Toole, Director of Development at Branches as they discuss how "toxic relationships" aren't just a hot topic. They explore the realities of how understanding healthy relationship patterns can make you and your community safer and take questions from the audience about how to best cultivate positive behaviors for yourself and your partner.
Branches Domestic Violence Shelter has been providing services to victims of domestic violence in the Appalachian communities of Cabell, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam, and Wayne counties in West Virginia.
