On this episode of Community United, Kat and guest host Jim Boyle speak with Hannah-Ruth Patterson, who shares her journey working with an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. We discuss financial control as a tactic used by abusers, and how the organization provides financial support and safety planning to help victims leave abusive situations. We also learn about the organization's partnerships with law enforcement and schools, and how they provide services to those experiencing domestic violence. Lastly, we talk about the challenges of leaving an abusive relationship, the lack of affordable housing as a barrier, and the use of Day One and 211 phone lines to connect victims with services, as well as the Rivers of Hope warm line. Join us as we explore the many ways Rivers of Hope supports those in need.
