In honor of Domestic Violence Month, this episode is a recording of a panel I moderated on “Domestic violence in a time of COVID” with the nonprofit Reveal Beauty. We talked about the definition of domestic violence, how to know if you’re in a situation of intimate partner violence, misconceptions, how to support a loved one who may be a victim of domestic violence, resources, and how to take care of ourselves while taking care of others. 

We are joined with Ileana Aguilar, Community Education Training Specialist, Safe Austin in Austin, Texas; Asa Scott, Associate Director of Clinical Services at the Bowery Missions, in New York City; and Anna Doan, Founder of Reveal Beauty.
