​By: Ann Kita, Director of Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Services
Every year the YWCA Greater Flint recognizes Domestic Violence Awareness month in October. My hope for October 2019 is to reduce the number of people who blame a survivor for staying with their abusive partner. Supporting survivors of intimate partner violence/abuse has been the most rewarding type of work I have ever done. I offer the following advice when you encounter a family member, friends, co-worker, acquaintance, etc. who share that they are in an abusive relationship.

Be patient with yourself if you don’t understand.

Be persistent for change.
