vitalvoices series - Domestic Violence: It's Not Just Physical

It strikes at the core of familial well-being. Domestic Violence destroys the safety and security of the individuals who are its victims. And it’s not just physical. The scars from other types of violence often remain hidden long after physical scars heal.

Join UHD Criminal Justice professors, Dr.. Alondra Garza and Dr. Kacy Bleeker to learn how behaviors considered to be “normal” or “cultural” are, in fact, abusive. Two domestic violence survivor-advocates, along with Thecia Jenkins and her team from the Harris County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council, and Jessica Bellant of The Bridge, a domestic violence shelter located in Pasadena, TX, will join our panel for a very special vitalvoices presentation.
