Safety Planning and Holidays
Although the holidays often are and can be a time of joy for
many, they can also come with a lot of discomfort and unique challenges for survivors of domestic violence. During this episode, we are joined by Tracy Stebbins and Mickinze VanHerpen with Grayson Crisis Center. They share their
insights on how to best prepare for the holiday season, support survivors, and take care of ourselves as advocates. Join us as we unpack the many layers of safety planning, including offering support around what it means to be safe, harm reduction, and the needs that come along with being in a rural area and a small town.
