Envisioning a Community Free from Domestic Violence: Nancy Friauf

Nancy Friauf is a tireless leader in the work to prevent interpersonal violence . We met several years ago when Nancy hired CES to help PADV develop a strategy for better demonstrating their outcomes.

In this episode we talk about:

• How Nancy came to do this work.
• The programs and services PADV offers.
• The many assumptions people make about victims of interpersonal violence.
• The pandemic and rates of IPV.
• How community systems and policies affect those involved in difficult or violent relationships.
• The recent case that has captured the nation's attention and why BIPOC women victims don't get the same attention. 
• How community members can help.
• What Nancy thinks it will take to change our communities.
