On October 20th, 2011 the Division of Mental Health led the “Break the Silence” project as part of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH.
This event was open to all members of the community. There were several activities including: the T- shirt clothesline activity, workshops on domestic violence led by survivors, informational presentations, relaxation sessions, survivor testimonies and written stories.
Special thanks to our patients who led the vision and shared their stories; MHHC staff who made it happen; and supporters Sanctuary for Families for bringing educational materials and the ADAIR GROUP who donated 72 T-Shirts which were all used to make a powerful statement to stop domestic violence. Thank you all for you participation in a nationwide network to Break the Silence!
