Many of us have seen the news and heard the reports about the increase of domestic violence in our community.
Here’s a shocking fact: 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime! Chances are you know someone dealing with domestic violence right now. Given the seriousness of our local problem, we are excited to announce our new campaign Speak Up with Safehome.
Speak Up with Safehome is an awareness campaign designed to bring the issue of domestic violence out from behind closed doors. Our goal is to connect our community with opportunities to make a positive difference for survivors of domestic violence, and their children. It is important to note that domestic violence isn’t always visible. Psychological, financial, sexual, and emotional abuse are all forms of domestic violence and often precede physical violence.
Safehome is grateful for the support of our Community Leaders. Chief Frank Donchez and Officer John Lacy of the Overland Park Police Department have joined together with Scott Poore of Mission Driven Goods to raise awareness with Safehome. Together with the help of our community leaders, local businesses, various clubs and organizations, and passionate individuals we can make the difference in the lives of victims of domestic violence.
