Harmony House Is Creating A Safe Community Where Individuals Are Free of Domestic Abuse
#539 Great.com Talks With... Harmony House
Domestic violence is a violation of human rights and a public health concern. It is driven by a complex interplay of factors, including gender inequality, societal norms, power imbalances, and learned behaviors. While anyone can be a victim or perpetrator of domestic violence, it disproportionately affects women and girls, with an estimated one in three women worldwide experiencing physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. That's why in today's episode, we talked with Kristen Snell, Community Outreach Director, and Charity Jordan, Prevention Education Coordinator at Harmony House.
Harmony House is a nonprofit organization that provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, education, support, and advocacy for survivors of domestic abuse. Their mission is to see the world free from domestic abuse and give survivors a second chance to experience life in all its beauty.
Shelter, Advocacy, Education
The organization's core mission is aided by supportive outreach case management programs that offer individuals and their children the chance to rest and heal both emotionally and physically. Their shelters provide a supportive environment where victims can escape the horrors of domestic abuse and spend time with people that care for them.
Harmony House has a 24/7 emergency shelter and hotline available to everyone. So far, they have provided up to 630,000 safe bed nights to victims and 630,000 meals.
