Encounters: Destigmatizing Intimate Partner Violence- The Alyssiah Wiley Program
Domestic Violence is a pervading issue across our world. During the fiscal year of 2021, over 38,989 people sought Domestic Violence Services in our state of Connecticut alone. This number is not reflective of all those who endure Domestic Violence, as violence often goes unreported. We need to shatter the silence. Through education, engagement, and empowerment, this program will shed light on Domestic Violence and create social change.
Join us as we learn, listen, and reflect through small group discussions with facilitators, and engage with experts in domestic violence services about this critical issue. Hosted by UConn’s Democracy and Dialogues Initiative, Capital Community College, and The Alyssiah Wiley Program.
Tuesday, April 11, 2023, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (in-person).
Location: Capital Community College. Community Room, 2nd Floor, 950 Main Street, Hartford.
