On Thursday, October 23, Community Advocates hosted a Lunch and Learn for community partners on Healthy Relationships and Breaking the Cycle of Violence. October is recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and as a topic Community Advocates and the Milwaukee Women's Center are working within and deeply dedicated to, it was important to us to provide a baseline of information and resources for others in the community. Through education and support, violence and abuse are preventable, and healthy relationships are possible.
