BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB)– Based on the Bay County Sherriff’s Workplace, 1 out of 4 folks fall sufferer to home violence inside our neighborhood, and the issue is rising.
“Sadly, home violence is one among my highest victimizations, I service an upwards of 75 folks a month,” stated sufferer advocate, Chevina Jackson.
Jan. 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Bay County Sheriff’s Workplace will maintain a free Home Violence Convention geared at bridging the hole between victims and neighborhood sources.
Jackson stated it’s a enormous fantasy that there are restricted sources for survivors, and oftentimes that’s the reason many circumstances go unreported.
“We could have regulation enforcement officers, authorized professionals, the Salvation Military, and Catholic charities, so a complete gambit of sources which can be working to make sure somebody can depart an unhealthy relationship,” she stated.
Those that attend will even be served with free lunch and free espresso and donuts within the morning offered by Dunkin Donuts.
The occasion is free and open to the general public. To register you are able to do so by calling 850-248-2125 or emailing chevina.jackson@bayso.org
