We wanted to first and foremost make that safe space so that the animals could come and stay in the shelter facility. We don't kennel them, we don't put them in a different building, we don't, which I think is pretty unique to just about every other domestic violence shelter across the country.
February marks Teen Dating Violence Prevention month, and in this episode of 'Stigma Busters', Kathy Mull, the Executive Director of The Cocoon, sheds light on the vital work her organization does in Wood County. The Cocoon provides a sanctuary for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, offering a range of services that include safe spaces for both people and their pets.
Kathy dives into the mental health repercussions of abuse, the warning signs to look out for, and the importance of prevention through education about healthy relationships and bystander intervention. This episode isn't just about raising awareness; it's about breaking down the stigmas that often keep victims silent. With Kathy's insights, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how community support can play a pivotal role in ending the cycle of abuse.
Whether you're directly affected or looking to support someone who is, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone committed to fostering a safer, more compassionate society.
