Domestic Violence
The Domestic Violence spoke is led by the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition (UDVC) and Fight Against Domestic Violence (FADV) and focuses on creating a world where all individuals and families in Utah live free from violence and feel safe, empowered, and hopeful. In addition to ensuring that both survivors and those who perpetrate domestic and intimate partner violence get the help they need, the affiliates and participants in the Domestic Violence spoke will explore how to begin moving forward with meaningful programs, initiatives, and resources that prevent violence. Spoke leaders bring together service providers, community nonprofit, government, business, education, healthcare, public policy, and dedicated individual partners to collaborate and engage in local and statewide efforts to achieve this vision. To learn more, listen to the spoke leaders discuss the work on this 15-minute podcast.
