Could your office team, youth group, book club, or faith community use a speaker? Unity House’s Domestic Violence Services Program has experts on hand. They can Zoom in to talk about domestic violence and resources available, healthy relationships for teens, or the collaborative community response that is key to addressing the epidemic of domestic violence.

When people in unhealthy relationships feel supported by the community, they are more likely to make a change for the better.
