October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to honor survivors and spread awareness about domestic violence in our communities.
In this episode of "Maine Ties" Kelly Brown, associate director of Next Step Domestic Violence Project in Ellsworth and Machias, talks about services for survivors, warning signs, and how you can help in your community.
Next Step was awarded a grant from the Hancock County Fund this year to support its work. It also received funding at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic from MaineCF's emergency response grants. Next Step will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2023.
