Delaware Tribe Family and Children Services in COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Tom Davis
October is Domestic Violence Awarness Month. Appearing on COMMUNITY CONNECTION, Lori Rose and Cindy Kenyon Delaware Tribe Family and Children Services introduced listeners to their sevices to help those affected by domestic violence.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) was launched nationwide in October 1987 as a way to connect and unite individuals and organizations working on domestic violence issues while raising awareness for those issues. Over the past 30+ years, much progress has been made to support domestic violence victims and survivors, to hold abusers accountable, and to create and update legislation to further those goals.
Lori and Cindy invited listeners to a welcoming and informational event on October 28, at the Tribal Offices at 5100 Tuxedo Blvd in Bartlesville with handouts and free popcorn. Check out their Facebook page for updates and more details.
