(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.

Some of the most common questions that people have regarding domestic violence topics,  center around Protection From Abuse Orders, or P.F.A.’s.  Beaver County Radio spoke with Laura Peterson, a Legal Advocate with the Women’s Center Of Beaver County, recently concerning  P.F.A.’s. Ms. Peterson helped define the parameters about P.F.A.’s including who can get one and how one goes about attaining such an order.  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 daily and makes one of their legal advocates available daily at the Beaver County Courthouse for those who have questions, or wishing to file a protection from abuse order, or more commonly referred to as a P.F.A.  For more information about meeting with a legal advocate from the Women’s Center of Beaver County, call 724-775-0131.

 

This is the first 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.
