\u00a0 \u00a0 The Crime Victims and Domestic Violence Unit (CVDVU) of the Hazelwood Police Department is collaborating with Woman\u2019s Place in building public awareness about a special program, \u201cHow to Help: A Workshop for Friends and Family of Domestic Violence Victims,\u201d scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 15.\u00a0 This event will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church Parish Hall, 751 N. Jefferson Street, in Florissant from 6-9 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to a recent study, nearly three out of four Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence.\u00a0 At least 30 percent of Americans say they know a woman who has been physically abused by her husband or boyfriend in the past year.<\/p>\n

Parents, siblings, friends, co-workers, and neighbors are often scared and sometimes feel powerless when they suspect that someone they care about is being abused by their partner.\u00a0 Many times they experience a myriad of feelings ranging from fear to worry, and frustration to anger.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Workshop instructors<\/strong> on Dec. \u00a015 will help them learn some coping strategies on how to deal with these feelings.\u00a0 Also, participants will be given advice on the \u201cTen Things to Do or Say\u201d and the \u201cFive Things to Never Do or Say\u201d when talking to domestic violence victims.\u00a0 Tips on how to engage a perpetrator will be shared as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur police department and the CVDVU strive to be active partners in St. Louis County\u2019s Coordinated Community Response to domestic violence and its aftermath,\u201d said Beth Ray, CVDVU Coordinator, Hazelwood Police Department.\u00a0 \u201cWoman\u2019s Place has stepped forward to fill a need for support groups and educational workshops in the North County area.\u00a0 This first workshop on December 15 will be a foundation for building stronger support systems for domestic violence victims through understanding and education.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to offering free admission, this Woman\u2019s Place workshop is open to the public; all are welcome.\u00a0 To make a reservation, please call (314) 645-4848.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the Hazelwood Police Department\u2019s CVDVU received one of only three \u201cExcellence in Victim Services Awards\u201d from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).\u00a0 It is well known in St. Louis County and throughout the state for its commitment to victims of crime.\u00a0 The CVDVU is responsible for the development and coordination of the department\u2019s victims\u2019 assistance program and other related activities.\u00a0 Beth Ray works with uniformed officers, detectives, and Family Court officials to provide an extensive array of services ranging from crisis intervention to follow-up consultation with victims, and legal advocacy to the distribution of information packets.<\/p>\n

Woman\u2019s Place<\/strong> is a safe and welcoming drop-in center for adult women, especially those who may have experienced domestic and\/or sexual violence.\u00a0 Its mission is to help women break the cycle of violence and facilitate their transition toward safety and personal empowerment.\u00a0 Through crisis intervention, support services, advocacy, and educational programs, this non-profit organization creates a safe, confidential opportunity for women to assess their situation, experience understanding and encouragement, and learn new behaviors that are healing and life-enhancing.\u00a0 This center is located at 7372 Marietta Avenue in St. Louis. Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.\u00a0 Phone number is (314) 645-4848.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
