An Unfortunate Reality

Domestic abuse is an ugly issue with a heavy stigma. It impacts people of all ages, genders and backgrounds and knows no boundaries. Chances are someone you know has been a victim of domestic abuse as an adult or as a child. It happens in college dorm rooms, escalates silently behind the walls of beautiful homes, follows children to school, impacts productivity in the workplace, has pervasive and complicated root causes and sometimes leads to death. Domestic abuse is a silent epidemic because there are countless numbers of victims who do not report or seek help and because people are still uncomfortable talking about it. Chances are you or someone you know has been a victim of domestic abuse or experienced abuse as a child.
PREVENTION IS THE CURE!

Introduction

My name is Tiffany Mullins. I am an Outreach Coordinator for a Domestic Violence Center as well as a survivor of domestic violence. This blog is dedicated to promoting awareness about domestic, sexual, and family violence. Together we can save lives. Remember October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Everyday that I am at work reiterates the need for hope, strength, courage, and support for those simply surviving domestic violence.  I hope that together we can help others go from just surviving to being a survivor.
