BOARD MEMBERS “SHADOW” ADVOCATES
Eve’s Place Board members recently enacted a training program for new Board members. The training is similar to the training completed by newly hired mobile advocates. Part of that training is to “shadow” an advocate for 8 hours. Board members meet with an assigned advocate and travel with them to their assigned location that day. It really brought home the reality of what we do in our mobile advocacy program and how important our mission is.
After seeing our advocates in their work environment, we have a new appreciation of our Mobile Advocacy Program and how it really works. We are able to serve more victims than ever before; and in locations that are safe, encouraging and comfortable for the victims.

OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
Eve’s Place is leading and participating in many activities throughout October to raise awareness and show support for victims and survivors of domestic violence. For the second year, Eve’s Place is participating in the Clothes Line Project. Victims, teens and volunteers painted pictures or sayings on t-shirts. The t-shirts will be displayed on clothes lines where people can easily see the messages.
