Send us a text

Domestic violence is not always visible—it can be physical, emotional, verbal, psychological, or financial.

In this powerful episode of Mission-Driven Founders, Wanda Malhotra speaks with Catherine Jones, former Victim Advocacy Program Coordinator at the YWCA Knoxville & the Tennessee Valley, about recognizing the signs, offering support, and connecting survivors with life-changing resources.

In this episode, you'll learn:
✔️ How to recognize the many forms of domestic violence
✔️ Practical ways to help someone who may be experiencing abuse
✔️ The vital role organizations like the YWCA play in empowering women and rebuilding lives
✔️ Why community involvement is key to lasting change

Since 1899, the YWCA Knoxville & the Tennessee Valley has been serving women and families—providing safe housing, advocacy, job training, and essential support. Every day, they help survivors leave with renewed spirit, new skills, and stronger lives.

Although Catherine is now on a different career path, her mission to do good in the world remains strong. We are deeply grateful for the insight she shared on such an important topic—it is mission-driven people like her who continue to make a difference and inspire change.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can make a difference, this episode will inspire you to take action.
