In the photo, the group is now discussing the experiences and choices according to the cards chosen. A variety of emotions were expressed from the reactions from families and others person “She” contacted. The outcomes varied from being very positive to death being experienced by “her”. A very helpful person in the woman’s life was a plumber. Therefore Ms. Holifield reported that you do not have to have a degree in social work to be helpful to a person experiencing domestic violence.

I am attending the Workshop “In Her Shoes” which  allows workshop participants to simulate the experiences and choices of women seeking domestic violence related services. The workshop is being conducted by Sara Holifield of the Tennessee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. In the photo, participants are now seeking and discussing services at the assigned tables.
