MAMI on a Mission! LLC ’s Post

🎙️ New Podcast Episode Alert! 🎙️ In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I had an impactful conversation with Melissa Prentice from Bay Area Turning Point, Inc. on the MAMI on a Mission Podcast. We discussed a critical issue—how individuals and communities can better support survivors and help prevent domestic violence. Melissa shared key insights, particularly emphasizing the importance of not putting limits on your support for someone experiencing abuse. She highlighted a sobering truth: urging someone to leave an abusive situation without the proper support or planning can be incredibly dangerous. In fact, statistics from the Texas Council on Family Violence's latest report show that 52% of intimate partner homicides in 2023 occurred after the survivor had taken steps to leave. Melissa underscored the value of empathy and understanding the complexities behind why someone may stay. Instead of pushing for immediate action, the most powerful thing we can do is connect survivors with professional organizations like Bay Area Turning Point, where they can receive safety planning and the resources needed to navigate their way out safely. Listen to the full episode and learn how we can make a difference in the fight against domestic violence. Together, we can offer survivors the support they truly need. 💜 Listen on https://lnkd.in/geNFg_bC #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportSurvivors #MAMIonaMission #Empathy #SafetyPlanning #EndAbuse #CommunitySupport
