St. Louis DV Center - Safe Connections

Tonight friends is a special broadcast on Butterfly Dreams Talk Radio, a community outreach broadcast of Butterfly Dreams Abuse Recovery. Our show starts at 9pm eastern/ 8pm central/ 6pm pacific time. Call in to listen or chat live at 347-215-7754 and our chatroom is always a welcoming place with our wonderful butterfly helpers.

It is a great pleasure to bring a local resource to the phone with me again. Welcome Deb Cottin, SAFE CONNECTIONS, St. Louis Missouri. What types of services do they have for women, children & what about men? How do they help rebuild lives that have been beaten down and stipped of value after leaving a dangerous relationship? What changes are being seen throughout government & healthcare systems in the mission to end the violence within our homes? How can you connect with a center in your area? Join me as I talk with Deb about these questions and more.

We are sharing this first discussion about resources of help in this October Domestic Violence Awareness Month, hope you get your purple out and wear/display it with pride. There is always hope when family & friends support those trapped in this often viciuos cycle. We can all be a source of help, simply open your heart & mind to caring, donating, assisting those who are trying to break free and end the violence in their lives.

We hope you share and invite a friend, as we never know who may be dealing with some form of abuse or degradation, victims are normally too ashamed to speak up or think there is no help. Only by providing resources and educating society about the very silent subtle signs can we hope to change what has become so absurdly accepted within our families & our homes.
