The Alvin Galloway Show, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., on www.radiophoenix.org. Our guests are Doreen Nicholas, Leslie Beatty and DL White.

October is DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH, join us as we discuss domestic violence in American society, laws addressing the problem, and resources for individuals in domestic violence situations.

Doreen Nicholas is the Domestic Violence Response Manager at the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (ACESDV). Nicholas has over 40 years of experience both personally and as a worker in the Anti – Sexual and Domestic Violence Movements.

Nicholas served on the Executive Board of the Arizona South Asians for Safe Families (2004-2019), is a faculty member of the Arizona Victim Assistance Academy and regularly works with the National Organization for Victim Assistance.

She works to assist communities to better provide a comprehensive, flexible, compassionate response to Domestic and Sexual Violence. Ms. Nicholas does community trainings on the local, state, national and, one time, internationally.

Leslie Beatty, a DV survivor, is an innovator, change agent, and business professional who is passionate about empowering women, uplifting African American youth, and driving social justice in the community and throughout the nation. By leveraging her leadership, life experiences, and compassion, Beatty dedicates time to transforming victims of Domestic Violence to survivors.

Her involvement with ACESDV (Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence) has helped her to better understand how domestic violence impacts many people and how laws and policies are created to either support or detract from the mission of liberating victims. From policy creation and legal advocacy to raising awareness, Beatty’s desire is to help those who have been silenced by abuse to find their voice and strength within to unshackle the invisible chains and walk in their freedom and rights.

D.L.White, has a vast amount of experience and knowledge in the area of domestic violence prevention, intervention and assessment. He is a former DV Diversion Specialist, having been employed by the Pima County Attorney's Office in Tucson for several yrs. He was trained in the application of the Peter Neitag Domestic Violence Conflict Containment Model (DVCCM) used by the United States Air Force for pilot debriefing, stress and conflict management.

The Pima County Attorney's Office provided a pre-sentence program in which individuals arrested/cited on charges of DV under ARS: 13-3601, were required to contact the Diversion Program within 24-48 hours following their release for assessment and referral for appropriate treatment, thus having their charges initially suspended or continued and later dismissed upon successful completion of the program.

White and his co-workers through their assessment determined if individuals were appropriate for services. They had the autonomy to make recommendations directly to the Pima County Courts. In this capacity,White was also involved in the critical training of the Pima County Sheriffs Department in their response on DV calls as well as court staff.

A member of the So. AZ Task Force On Domestic Violence, White and members of the Pima County Atty's Office were instrumental in advancing DV laws and language to more effectively identify the aggressor in DV conflict matters and properly consequent those behaviors.
