"Walking the Domestic Violence Walk" June 25

The Center is offering an unique experiential exercise for anyone who wishes to understand how we all have a role to play in ending domestic violence. This exercise is based on real-life experiences of survivors. Participation in this workshop will illustrate that domestic violence is a community tragedy, not a private problem and encourage everyone to think creatively about ways to end violence in El Dorado County.

Walking the Domestic Violence Walk will take place on Thursday, June 25 6:00 - 8:00 p.m at The Center, 344 Placerville Dr. Suite 11 Placerville. The Center is offering this workshop at no cost to Center Volunteers (those signed up for August Training and current volunteers) and $25 to community members. Click here for flyer.

Space is limited. Call 530-626-1450 or 916-939-4464 and reserve your place in this workshop today! Also mark your calendars for July 23 for the Walking the Sexual Assault Walk - an experiential exercise in understanding the true complexity of sexual assault and the lasting impact on survivors and their loved ones.
