Helping a domestic violence survivor
Sidney Yerger Dallas Hope Charities partners to present workshop to help others help victims DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer Taffet@DallasVoice.com Sidney Yerger, outreach and education engagement manager at Dallas Hope Charities, helps stage the Safe Place Workshop quarterly with the Dallas Police Department.
The program aims to foster a safer environment for LGBTQ individuals who may be experiencing domestic violence. Representatives of The Family Place also participate and give pointers on how to support a victim.
A virtual meeting on Google Meet is designed for community members to learn how they can support LGBTQ survivors of domestic violence.
Business owners, supervisors, non-profit organizations and librarians may benefit from pointers the presenters will offer. Yerger said most people think of physical abuse when they think of domestic violence.
