Speaker Series: Animal Abuse and Woman Abuse

Join us to learn about disturbing trends linking animal abuse and intimate partner violence. CPO is hosting this event in recognition of International Women’s Day and the ongoing violence women experience at the hands of their partners.  Our keynote Speaker will give an overview of the research and what you can do if you are a victim of violence or assisting a victim of violence.  She will be followed by local experts who are building solutions for families caught in this cycle of violence.
