Meet Rachel Louise Snyder, Author of No Visible Bruises

October is Domestic Violence Month
In the presentation, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder provides crucial context for what we don't know we're seeing. As she lays out in her award-winning book No Visible Bruises, the scale of domestic violence in our country is obscured by commonly-held myths: that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and most insidiously that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence.
Joe Meyer, Executive Director & CEO of Shelter House, Toni Zollicoffer, Divison Director of Domestic and Sexual Violence Services and other experts will discuss local resources that are available for those experiencing domestic violence.
Cosponsored by Shelter House.
This presentation was recorded on October 21, 2023 and will be available for viewing until November 4, 2023.
