Over the last 7 years, more than 800 Georgians have lost their lives to domestic violence. Victims of domestic violence are more likely to be connected to a sacred community than to a domestic violence organization.

How can we stop this tragic loss of life? Join us to explore resources and roadblocks to safety within our sacred communities. Participants will leave with resources in hand that may help them save lives.

Presenters:
Rabbi Elena Zelony, Assistant Rabbi at Congregation Shearith Israel in Atlanta
Greg Loughlin, M.S.S.W., coordinator of the Georgia Domestic Violence
Fatality Review Project, a joint initiative of the Georgia Commission on Family Violence and Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
