Our Domestic Violence Alliance and the County’s Domestic Violence Council co-hosted a “From Surviving to Thriving: Mental Health & Domestic Violence” event on May 9 to address holistic healing and practices for survivors.
A special panel shared their life experiences, the impact of trauma, and the power of healing.
CIFD General Manager Abigail R. Marquez joined Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky and State Senator Susan Rubio in discussing efforts to support survivors. In the last year, our survivor services system has grown from 10 to 16 community-based organizations. Two new shelters were also added. But we know there is still much work to be done!
