(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.

One of the most significant ways to combat domestic violence is by making people more aware of the resources that are available to them in their community. The Women’s Center of Beaver County has traditionally been that safe haven and advocate for the victims of domestic violence.  Ann Colella-Murray from the Women’s Center of Beaver County remarked in a recent discussion, that  COVID 19 has changed the way residents can help her organization attend to area victims of Domestic Violence. Traditionally, the Women’s Center of Beaver County would see an upward trend in the amount of non perishable food and other useful items, along with cash that was donated as part of Holiday giving.  However, in an effort to maintain high a high level of caution and safety, this year the Women’s Center of Beaver County can only accept monetary donations.

Upcoming segments in this series include “24 Hour Helpline” and “Counseling Versus Therapy”.
