Violence Unmasked: the Men Behind the Abuse Thursday, May 27 at 6:30 pm
You’ve read the headlines, now hear the truth. We have been deluged by news about high profile domestic violence cases: the Patterson cover-up, White Plains mayor Adam Bradley, ex-Senator Hiram Monserrate, and singer Chris Brown. Yet, relationship violence is a reality for thousands of women each day. Join us for a panel discussion focused on understanding the men who abuse, how to prevent domestic violence among youth and in our communities, and how NOW-NYC is working to strengthen domestic violence laws. You’ll learn about the most innovative preventative programs for youth and treatment programs for abusive men.

Frank, Director, VCS Domestic Violence program for Men, Lead Contributor to the NY Model for Batterer Programs & President, Rockland County Chapter of NOW · Stephanie Nilva, Esq., Executive Director, Day One · Dan Goodman, Program Coordinator, Choices, Fordham & Tremont · Moderator: Sonia Ossorio, Executive Director, NOW-NYC
