💜We are better together! What an amazing night hosted by @awarect in Westport - to support the @centerforfamilyjusticect . Donations went directly to help children impacted by abuse and trauma attend Camp HOPE, a truly life changing experience for them. 🙌Thank you to AWARE’s Amy Saperstein @amysaperstein and Erica Davis @eld2526 for having me and Lisa Pinney-Keusch @lisapkny speak about FRAMED and Rock the Walls @rockthewallsorg at your fall event - and for giving our work a shout out last night. ❤️‍🩹Most touching and powerful were the words by Elba Santos, who lost her daughter to intimate partner violence in Puerto Rico - a murder that sparked widespread protest. (See photo from USA Today article of Elba and her daughter Angie.) We can enact change when we work together. This is why we do what we do! 💙I am a domestic abuse survivor who is dedicating my life to empowering women in divorce. The majority of my divorce coaching clients are experiencing some kind of abuse/coercive control in their relationships. I help women plan ahead and create a strategy to break free.

Thank you @awarect and our generous host for inviting us to speak about domestic abuse and our family court system! I loved sharing FRAMED with all of you - and appreciate all you do to bring awareness to this topic. I’m glad it sparked questions and conversation about women stuck in these situations. @lisapkny also read from FRAMED and talked about @rockthewallsorg - a comprehensive database she’s launching for abuse victims and advocates. 💜 And representatives from the amazing @centerforfamilyjusticect - Aware CT’s partner this year - spoke.

This is a true reminder of what we can do as a community and the kindness and compassion of the entire AWARE family. 💜💜💜💜
