Part 2 | Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention Month 2021: Connections to & Impacts of COVID-19

October is Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Arlene Vassell and Casey Keene of the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence joined PreventConnect for a 2-part podcast to talk all things DVAM 2021. Part 1 of this podcast is also available where Arlene and Casey discuss the history of DVAM and the theme and ongoing call-to-action for this year: No Survivor Justice Without Racial Justice.
