About the Episode

November is Family Violence Prevention Month.

In order to better understand what Family and Domestic Violence is, what causes it and what can be done, we sat down with Lana Bentley, an social worker and advocate with extensive experience in dealing with family and domestic violence.

If you or someone you know is experiencing family or domestic violence, please reach out for help.
