UPDATED NUMBERS covid 19 (Greenburgh & Villages)....link to last week’s radio interview: My Sister’s Place (Domestic Violence)...TOMORROW’s radio program will focus on mental health & COVID-19 from 10 AM to 11 AM
COVID-19. A link to last week’s WVOX radio program focusing on domestic violence and MY SISTER’S PLACE can be found below. As shelter in place from the COVID pandemic continue, reports of violence in the home are increasing nationally. Contributing factors for this increase, such as job loss, tight finances and close proximity to partners and children. It’s important to understand the challenges victims of domestic violence face, the injury and health effects of domestic violence and how to help victims.
