(Beaver County, PA) October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the Women’s Center of Beaver County has partnered with Beaver County Radio to produce and publish a four part series on issues associated with Domestic Violence.

Beaver County Radio learned by speaking with representatives from the Women’s Center of Beaver County that domestic violence doesn’t just happen when it’s convenient to find help, it can occur anytime of the day or night.  That’s why one of the most important support services that victims of Domestic Violence can receive is to be able to talk to a legal advocate anytime that they might have a problem.   Beaver County Radio spoke with Laura Peterson, a Legal Advocate with the Women’s Center of Beaver County, recently concerning  the need to be able to talk with an advisor regardless of the time of day.   Here is an excerpt from her recent interview on “A.M. Beaver County”:

The Women’s Center of Beaver County provides free legal advocacy services around the clock, 365 days a year. and makes one of their legal advocates available daily via their 24 hour helpline for those who need assistance regarding domestic violence situations.  For more information about meeting with a legal advocate from the Women’s Center of Beaver County, call 724-775-0131.

 

This is the second segment in a four part special series that is focused on domestic violence, as part of an overall effort to educate and raise awareness of the issue during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
