2015 Break the Silence Domestic Violence event

Thank you to all who came out to support our “Break the Silence” event in raising awareness in the fight against violence as well as to celebrate and give honor to our survivor for her courageous stance against violence. What a POWERFUL event!

Special thanks to our sponsor; to Dawn Kendrick for serving as emcee; to all those who participated on the program; to the first ladies and pastors for taking a stand against domestic violence, we are inspired by ALL of you; to Abigail Ministries, Genesis House Lorain County Battered Women’s Shelter, Legal Aid Society Elyria Office, Ohio Domestic Violence Network, and Robin C. Hill Counseling Services, for educating attendees and providing accessible resources within our community and to Genesis House for the “Silent Witness” display.

We were honored to present Patrolman Aaron Neff with the Commitment to Service Award for rendering service above and beyond for the protection of victims of domestic violence and Prosecutor Frank Carlson with the Scales of Justice Award for outstanding service to the administration of justice on behalf of victims of domestic
violence.

Everyone should have the right to live without physical, sexual, verbal, mental, or emotional violence or the fear of such abuse. Let’s vow to continue to stand in solidarity with domestic violence survivors and inspire action to stop the cycle of abuse.
