Responding to Domestic and Sexual Violence

Domestic and sexual violence cause harm to couples and families and can become life threatening.  The Durham Crisis Response Center has been providing services to such victims in the Durham area for 31 years.  It has helped 20,000 women and children over that time, who have found safety at its shelter, and many more have benefited from its services.  October is Domestic Violence Awareness month.  Shirrell Thomas, outreach coordinator from the center, will speak to us about the mission and activities of the Center.
