“United Way of Lake County Presents Domestic Violence and Abuse in Lake County”
Recently, United Way of Lake County created an incredibly informative video that recognizes domestic violence and abuse in Lake County, Ohio. This video speaks volumes about the prevalence of abuse and the various resources for survivors. Some agencies in the video include Emergency Management Services of Lake County, Western Reserve Counseling, Forbes House, Tackle Domestic Violence, Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Painesville and Willoughby Municipal Courts, Domestic Relations Court, Beacon Health, Mentor School District, Womensafe, and the Painesville Police Department. United Way of Lake County presented an important message in this video, allowing the community to see that there is help available, that no survivor has to go through the process of recovery alone, and that “Change Starts Here”.
Please watch the video titled “United Way of Lake County Presents Domestic Violence and Abuse in Lake County“.
