Presentation at the 2019 Cass County Domestic Violence Awareness Month Vigil by Dan Moyle.

Dr. Lukas Konandreas is not only a full-time emergency room doctor, he is also the author of Better Dead Than Divorced and an advocate for domestic abuse victims.

Tori Lawrence, Child Advocate at DASAS joins the show to discuss how to talk to children who experience domestic violence.

When domestic violence occurs in the home, it affects our work. It is not a private matter to be "dealt with" behind closed doors. Employers need to have policies on place just as they do for other situations.

Deborah Hackworth, Director of Advocacy Services at DASAS, talks with Claudia Pahls about how ignoring the warning signs of domestic violence will only help it to thrive. Learn how to ask someone if they're really okay, how to offer help without judgement or your own agenda and what to look for to begin to recognize when someone may need help.
